have you ever got software certified for the government or military? It's daunting at first, you know there are problems. As the process goes along though, it's just a financial process. You pay a government contractor to write some documentation and it's the documentation that is "tested". It just takes time and it's not cheap, it has little to do with security. The epa tests are for beaurocrats, now maybe the world is changing but I suspect that if you could simply plug a usb stick in to your car and get better mileage and more power, at the cost of some nitrogen, a ton of people would do it, maybe most would. If it was really important, they'd require the cars to have real time sensors as standard equipment and put some of the responsibility on the driver too. VAG just played along and made the game more efficient. Not that I agree with it, it sucks, but the system was built to be gamed, it's broken
