I read the epa document. They just said there was a magic "switch"
that somehow detected that the vehicle was being tested based on
the position of the steering wheel (??) and other things. I guess if
the car is on a dyno the steering wheel doesn't move. I don't see
conclusive proof though, i.e get in the car on the dyno, wiggle the
steering wheel and clouds of smoke come out.
I guess, as an engineer, I'd just like to know more about the hack.
Kudos for the guys at West Virginia University for actually testing
emissions in the real world. 40x worse, that's pretty bad.
