I think someone at the EPA should be held liable for their lousy testing practices. They test cars on a dyno, which is far from real-world testing. They would have easily caught this if they tested cars in the way and same environment that they are driven.
I fully expect corporations to try and skirt the law whenever possible, that's why we have institutions like the EPA. Their practices need to be sound and tamper-proof. It's not impossible. It's engineering 101.
The head of the EPA should resign in disgrace for letting this situation get this far.
- robwilliams 11y agoI mean, they caught it. This is a win for the EPA.
- setpatchaddress 11y agoWell, they didn't catch it, but when it was brought to their attention, they verified it and went after VW. This exposed a gap in their their testing practices, but the overall process certainly worked as it should.
- iamleppert 11y agoThey didn't catch it. It was caught by independent researchers. They should be ashamed.
- koof 11y agoTheir budget keeps getting slashed. Calling the EPA the disgrace, when you have an actually good target for your anger right in front of you, is nonsense.
