The same company that supposedly views everything through the lens of liability and compliance does this:
> When the cars were operating under controlled laboratory conditions - which typically involve putting them on a stationary test rig - the device appears to have put the vehicle into a sort of safety mode in which the engine ran below normal power and performance. Once on the road, the engines switched out of this test mode.
>
> The result? The engines emitted nitrogen oxide pollutants up to 40 times above what is allowed in the US.
