Yeah, they probably didn't - because large auto companies have time and resources devoted to safety and compliance.

  And bribery
  • makmanalp 10y ago
    Bribery to overlook certain numbers and results perhaps, but I think it'd be a unlikely to hear that the NHTSA just completely skipped on all regulatory checks entirely, which is what geohot wants.

      I meant it more in the sense of bribery to get the regulators to squeeze the little guys as they always do. Big companies love regulation because it kills their competition and lets them progress at their glacial and expensive pace.

    If bribery was an option would VW have gone to such lengths to hide true emissions rather than slipping someone a backhander?
