Default More on VW Cheatware

Don't be silly. If it can pass the tests legitimally at all times, it is
no longer cheating.

If you like you can call it "post-2015-mode, formerly known as
emission-reducing-cheat-mode", but if they remove the emission-
reducing cheat-mode, all they would have left is "pre-2015 normal
mode".

The normal mode was high emissions. The cheat mode, test passing.


Precisely.


Then there wouldn't be much point in removing what you wittily describe
as "cheat mode", would there. AISB, that is the mode that will be
extended to cover ordinary use.


Correct, that's exactly what I'm saying.
