Once this is proven false, they will blame the devs, just like VW did.

The dev. at VW was at least smart enough to keep the paper trail around. Lets hope the people working for this company did the same.

There's also a bunch of service people involved etc. (some "non-working" trains were sent back to NEWAG, and the people doing the maintenance had to know how to unlock them, etc.)

I wonder how they explain the "rogue dev" somehow clandestinely communicating the reset procedure to the manufacturer's shop.
