Very interesting story - thanks! Is there any ability to quantify the amount of emissions bad stuff that went in to our atmosphere? That is, emissions outside the state/federal requirements? Maybe the defeat only allowed emissions equal to one car in a hundred cars, i.e. indecipherable. Perhaps instead of fines and punishment, the VW Dieselgate design team should be required to sing as federal employees for their punishment. Their punishment would be to innovate using their defeat mechanism design skills that defeated the regulations to see other defeat mechanisms that are probably being used by other companies, i.e. Get Smart - employ innovation instead of trying to punish/control multi-national behemoths. Control of multi-national behemoths requires a greater innovation than bureaucracy can ever muster - we the people still rule! mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
