A year of digging through code yields “smoking gun” on VW, Fiat diesel cheats

Pretty interesting, and it shows how difficult this is to uncover short of tediously digging through the source code.

Also shows that Bosch was complicit, and I think they should also pay a penalty. No one at VW writes the code. Bosch writes the code based on the requirements from VW engineers. They damn well knew they were writing a cheat.

I was surprised that Bosch wasn't called out.
