I just saw a Nissan article on here a few days ago. It was about how they cheated their emissions tests.

  They didn't "cheat their" emissions test unless you're lowering the standards for "cheating" because you're running out of witches to burn. Workers at a factory falsified test data to make it look like cars that didn't pass their internal tests passed. The cars were still complaint with the relevant regulations and the tests are not advertised to customers. Nobody got cheated except Nissan itself. It's like promising your customers 99.99% up-time, considering 99.999% up-time the bar for success internally, delivering 99.99% and then fudging the numbers so that it says 99.999% internally. I love getting triggered by corporate misconduct as much as the next guy but the Nissan thing was a nothing-burger with a catchy headline. Edit: Since apparently I'mWrong(TM) can explain to me how the Nissan thing is anything worth paying attention to?

    >falsified test data to make it look like cars that didn't pass their internal tests passed Sounds an awful lot like cheating to me, but OK.

      "Still met emissions requirements, but failed internal QA".

  >I just saw a Nissan article on here a few days ago. It was about how they cheated their emissions tests. Exactly. Some stupid story that wasn't true. I rest my case.
