Could you elaborate? The author says it was a software defeat based on detecting simulation conditions. The students rigged up a portable tester which did not trigger these conditions. An official saw a presentation on the paper results and got involved in investigations, which demonstrated that the results were accurate. Where's the missing connection?
- gm-conspiracy 9y agoThe last paragraph is not a conclusion. It reads like there is additional content missing at the end. It is nice for WVU and those students to receive recognition via the article, but the article leaves much to be desired.
- alexeldeib 9y agoAh, yes I agree the writing style is a bit awkward especially at the end. I think the story itself is pretty compelling. The style does (somewhat awkwardly) parallel the story itself: these guys weren't looking to get VW into trouble, they were fascinated by what they thought was a technical solution to a hard problem.
