Tech Alert
It has been confirmed that the US government has accused Volkswagen of using software to duck emissions testing for certain air pollutants on nearly half a million of its cars.
On Friday the company was hit with a notice of violation of the Clean Air Act from the Environmental Protection Agency and was ordered to fit its systems at its own cost. The EPA said that VW’s software has been defined as a “defeat device” according to the US Clean Air Act, which considers such alleged evasion to be a threat to the public’s health.
The head of the company has apologized and said that he will do whatever it takes to win back the loyalty of his customers but at this point it may just be too late.
