How the hell someone ok'd this design and let it go to production is beyond me.After EPA and CARB announced they would not certify 2016 model year diesel vehicles, VW admitted “it had designed and installed a defeat device in these vehicles in the form of a sophisticated software algorithm that detected when a vehicle was undergoing emissions testing.”
