Michael Horn, CEO of VW America: &quot;This was a couple of software engineers who put this in for whatever reason.&quot; That sounds nothing like what you&#x27;re describing. The article alludes that many were suspended, but it doesn&#x27;t directly attribute blame to them.<p>I find it impossible to believe any software engineer at the implementation level would assume that level of risk. This is obviously scapegoating. I really hope they set those engineers up for life, because they&#x27;ll never be able to find another job again.
