well you know... german car manufcaturers are just ignorant and greedy. they also use big subsidizes for "EV"s/car batteries which they never really delivered. the german governement is so deeply involved with the manufcaturers that nothing really would change anything. they basically have their marionettes to do whatever they want. I mean just look at VW. no high level executive got any charges up until now. the latest news were around november 2017 were the "searched" for stuff, but I doubt that they will ever put anybody to jail in germany. i mean changes are high that inside the "diesel-gate", some local german governement was directly involved. I mean "Niedersachsen" (the county) actually helds at least 20% of the Volkswagen AG. so they probably knew that something is fishy. I mean it was already pretty fishy that cars would've been emission checked with only software instead of the working old methods.
