Default EPA caught VW cheating - how does the car know it's being tested?

The point is that government malfeasance, which can and does result
in massive death, rarely if ever goes punished. I don't know how much
additional pollution is being caused by VW diesels or if the effect
is even measurable given their relatively low numbers. I do know that
governments routinely lie, cheat, steal, and kill (sometimes en masse)
all in a day's work. There's no doubt that what VW did was bad, but
the outcry seems out of proportion given the routine misdeeds of
the State.


What a goof!
