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

Apparently Volkswagen/Audi cheated on the USA emissions tests since
2009 to 2015 by turning off the EGR to lower nitrogen oxide emissions
ONLY when the car was being tested for emissions.

etc.

My question is HOW did the car *know* it was being *tested* for emissions?
