I used to have a VW, in a way: Audi A2[^]
Yes, Audi and VW are together. First, the Audi (and VW) automatic transmissions that come with the TDI motors are junk. Two of them disintegrated and are the reason why I will never buy any of their cars again.
The A2 also had a little button which (gasp) changed the motor configuration a little. you could choose between the economic (low consumption) setting and the 'normal' (more power) setting. Looks like this feature was implemented for the TDI engines all along.
Obviously a bad example of how to reuse your code.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I was just working on a software which (not named here) uses to schedule and test their motors.

Nice, but if I had free choice it might look more like this[^]

Definitely the Mercedes Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Mercedes is a piece of rusting junk.
And the 30 year so called "warranty" against rust that they had wasn't even worth the paper.

Perhaps they should consider hire Jeremy Clarkson to get the emission rates up a bit. I heard he was available.

I have to drive a Golf Bluemotion tonight (pool car) any tips on avoiding capture?

If you need to get away, use Blue Thunder.[^]
I like that huge model, but not its price tag.

Blue Thunder definitely beats Bluemotion.

Why the hell did they confess to cheating?
The cars pass all European emissions tests, its part of the yearly technical test all cars have to go through, so its only the US.
They could have put it down to a SW glitch, and done a US recall only and saved themselves the utter disaster they are facing now.
Idiots.

Probably because any decent investigative journalist would've kept digging and exposed it as being far too designed to be a simple glitch which would've been even worse because then everyone would've known that they were still attempting to hide it.

Are you a fewl? Do you not understand? This has nothing to do with emissions, the figures were rigged by Climate NazisTM to discredit the entire auto industry and force us back to using horses and carts!

You are talking about 'diging' through, at best, assembly, running 4 d maps of data, on an ECU. You cant 'dig' through that and prove anything.

Yes, "Investigative Journalists" are smart enough to evaluate software and determine if it was designed this way or was a glitch. Haha hohoho. What a hoot. 
I already know your reply...
These "Investigative Journalists" would've asked someone who is smart.
But you forget, they still wouldn't have understood the answer.
Journalist: "Uh, so are you saying uh...that wait...what was the question I was asking...?"

That's a fair point, I'm just saying that sooner or later it would've come out, whether by a journalist or by some other investigation or hell, even by accident via a leaked internal memo.

I agree with you really. I'm mostly just joking around but it is interesting how little depth we often get from the journalists.

The cars passed emission tests when tested on dynamos, but not when equipment was placed in the trunk. The testing facility has been conducting these tests for over 20 years.
VW got caught defrauding the public; at least they were willing to admit it rather than continue the charade.
And, if they didn't want to pass U.S. emission tests, don't plan to sell their product here.

No, no - being a lying obnoxious douchebag is certainly a better option, just look what it did for Nixon!
