I'm wondering why their engineers still agree to work for a company that actively conspires towards poisoning their children.
- Laarlf 5y agoI wouldn’t want to try to do that either. With the political climate in Europe it would be stupid to invest sums into making ICE more efficient or less harmful. Could very well be that in 3-4 years it will be impossible to sell an ICE car because of fuel prices, city bans or whatever. It’s the same reason why the diesel scandal happened in the first place: stupid rules and regulations with even more stupid metrics.
