Volkswagen detects when your tests are being run in a CI server, makes them pass
- xfs 10y agoThis is quite misleading. Can you use the Volkswagen trademark like this?
- james_a_craig 10y agoIt's parody, so it should be fine.
- mattcoles 10y agoSomewhat fitting for it to be misleading, given it's namesake.
- yev 10y agoOmg, why I have not seen it before! Very useful!
- stefantalpalaru 10y agoFunny, but VW were actually cheating the least of all car manufacturers: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/30/wide-range-of-cars-emit-more-pollution-in-real-driving-conditions-tests-show https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/30/wide-ran...

- rurban 10y agoBosch would be a better name. Volkswagen rarely has anything to do with it. More so Audi, but Bosch produced those SW and devices.

- rurban 10y agoThis talk describes the "Acoustic" deactivation function in the Bosch ECU (SW+HW by Bosch, not VW), which detects the test cycle and stops AdBlue when it leaves the cycle. https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7331.html https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/Fahrplan/events/7331.htm... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLZLxzYCarw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLZLxzYCarw This acoustic deactivation trick was given to several car makers, which do make heavy us of it. VW is not even on the top of the list of the affected engines. But VW has the most money and marketshare, so they went after the them. Didn't check the update from this year CCC talk yet.
