Learn About Volkswagen Violations

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency · 2015

EPA website

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's page on the Volkswagen emissions violations. The companion cites it for software in some 590,000 diesel vehicles sold in the United States that switched on full emissions controls only during tests. It illustrates why assays must remain valid when the organism knows them (P14): an assay that depends on not being recognized awaits its defeat device.
