> Horn testified that the decision to use the cheating software was not made at the corporate level. Instead, it was "software engineers who put this in for whatever reason." He said three people have been suspended over the issue and that "this was not a corporate decision." >He told lawmakers the automaker is working on "software and hardware solutions." >When asked how the cheating software worked, Horn said he didn't know. "Personally, no. I'm not an engineer," he said. It is a good reminder, if you've ever doubted it, that if someone asks you to do something illegal/not compliant, you'll be thrown under the bus if the company get caught. I have a really hard time believing that this was the decision of a lone wolf at the bottom of the food chain. At least, the management is responsible for creating (or not) a culture of compliance vs result at any cost.
