"Bosch, the German engineering firm, is said to have explained in a
memo to VW that use of the software to manipulate results would be
against the law.

A 2007 letter warned against using the software during regular
operation, according to an internal VW investigation seen by German
weekly Bild am Sonntag.

Bosch is understood to have delivered the software to Volkswagen on
the basis that it was test purposes and not for normal driving mode."

But you'd need to see the actual memo *and* understand the subtleties
of the German language know whether it was a serious warning or a
"nudge, nudge - wink, wink"!

Bet you wouldn't be able to work it out even with the actual memo and
that sort of fluency with German.

It's clearly an absolutely classic protect Bosch's arse memo.

And I bet there's some relieved sighing / back clapping / high fiving
going on at Bosch right now.

Arent the Germans into thigh slapping to music
while wearing leather shorts or something ?
