And everybody still gives VW a pass on this:
The Volkswagen emissions scandal, also known as Dieselgate, involved Volkswagen intentionally programming diesel engines to activate emissions controls only during lab tests, causing vehicles to emit up to 40 times more nitrogen oxides (NOx) in real-world driving
Volkswagen initially denied the wrongdoing, but later admitted to the cheating and faced significant repercussions, including fines, recalls, and legal investigations
The EPA's findings covered 482,000 cars in the US, including the VW-manufactured Audi A3, and the VW models Jetta, Beetle, Golf and Passat.
