Is it possible that Volkswagen could have pleaded guilty as a corporation in order to indemnify its employees? Perhaps also paying higher fines? I find it hard to believe a employee will break the law like this for a company without some motivation or incentive to do so. This whole case has really left me with a distaste towards all the Volkswagen brands I owned 3 Audis in the last decade. Good news is I have been to Germany and talked to people in the industry and there is a real fear of the change coming from electric vehicles.
