It is wild to me that OEM's can straight up include tech to defeat emissions testing and be allowed to continue building engines after that is found. Like, all regulators should operate from the assumption that the entities they're regulating are working in good faith: but once it's been demonstrated they are not, how can you ever trust a product they produce again? They and every other company found to be doing this should be barred from producing engines for good. Or at the very fucking least, be subject to an INCREDIBLE level of scrutiny regarding their software for a solid many years to follow. Like, every single line audited for compliance.

Well, German politicians for one sure love their automotive industry, and it's traditionally more important to them than mostly everything else.

Yet another reason the software running on these automotive systems should be free and open source. It would be great to see the control logic and know that it's doing the right thing.

This right here. The hardware and software should be open to public scrutiny, so that experienced practitioners can explore and weigh in.

I hope that you like ARXML mess with hundreds of MATLAB Simulink files sitting on top.
