A German court has sentenced two former Volkswagen executives to prison and handed suspended sentences to two others for their roles in the company’s diesel emissions scandal.
Dont know much about anything but it would not surprise me if it was some Bosch engineers who originaally hinted all those engineers of what could be done with their systems if they just listen some states of other car systems. Afterall, it’s their injection systems etc. almost every diesel manuf used/uses.
Good. I still refuse to consider VW cars over this. Maybe once everyone has received their prison sentences, I’ll reconsider.
It wasn’t just VW. It was like a dozen of the major brands all doing it in some way or another.
E.g BMW was involved as well.

You are genuinely the first other person I’ve ever seen online who seems aware that this was an industry-wide thing, not a VW thing.
You barely saw it in the news compared to VW as well. Even if an article would bring it up, it’d usually be headlines with VW in some way or another.
It’s a shame so many of our choices for cars out there are run by bad people at the top 😞
What “ethical” car brand do you buy then?
