      Agreed. It is an amazing example of corporate stupidity.

      A group of people deliberately engineered the cars behave as they do, dozens of people would have "Signed Off" the designs, the internal testing and the whole manufacturing process and nobody thought :

      "Hey, this could be viewed as fraudulent and get the whole company into deep, deep trouble".

              Maybe we won't be seeing VW/Audi making a move into F1 after all.

                if (ops.get_engine_rpm_history_data() == "EMISSIONS_TEST")
                {
                ops.put_engine_required_emissions("LOW");
                }
                else
                {
                ops.put_engine_required_emissions("NORMAL");
                }
                Probably they were too enthusiastic and thought lets put polymorphism into action.

                    all the tests are bobbins anyway as they do not even close to represent real world experience.

                    BMW i8 - test figures 135 mpg
                    BMW i8 - real world figures 30 mpg

                    and it will be the same with emissions testing...

                    and as someone said - the people who made these decisions and signed them off did so to get their bonus with no interest in the 'future' of the company.
