Daimler (Merc) USA - Emissions Defeat/Rogue Software - Penalties
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:33 am
US Department of Justice nailed Daimler yesterday for emissions fraud. Didn't know this case had been underway?
Interesting penalty conditions to include an offset for pollution delivered...... From about 4 mins in
The DOJ speaker mentions millions of lines of code...think thats an aircraft system. Also, engine control systems are often tailored by companies like Bosch. The software is often classed as simple (if not stupid) and needing final and professional engineering to reliably work. This isn't about hand written code. Look at it as a kind of CAD creation.
I note the BBC's loose mouth that hooks into Nissan etc......"But investigations soon widened to other companies, including Ford, Mitsubishi, and Nissan".
IMPORTANT...This is not a Fox News article. its the US DOJ Presser direct and only transmitted by Fox.
