To replace every vehicle with a horse would not be a straight one for one exchange (that would be bad enough really). Every passenger car woul require either one horse per person or two horses to pull a buggy. Small trucks would require teams of 4 to 6 and heavy trucks would need even more. On top of the number you would not be looking at the nice small riding types but the big heavy mothers that suck up resources like crazy. The plus side is they could be eaten when they no longer can work.

The PR machine has begun spinning.
"“The test manipulations are a moral and political disaster for Volkswagen. The unlawful behaviour of engineers and technicians involved in engine development shocked Volkswagen just as much as it shocked the public." Berthold Huber, the acting head of VW’s supervisory board. From The Guardian. The head of the Supervisory Board blames engineers and technicians, but not management. And then talks about VW as a entity separate from them, one which was shocked as much as the public was. |

Engineers live by requirements BUT there is some leeway in how higher level requirements are interpreted. This "interpretation" is called derivation. It is typically the systems engineer that get to determine how to word the derived requirements in ways that are verifiable by the test engineers. If done properly the test engineers have a set of requirements that are simple and "not open for interpretation". My bet was that the design engineers were presented with one set of requirements, while the test engineers were presented with a similar set of requirements with different wording. It would be the management types in the middle (systems engineers are often management level) that did the massaging of the requirements as they went from the design stage to the test (verification) stage. |

In the UK car road tax is based on emissions. So if the same issue becomes the reality here then is tax under payment to be recovered? Or are we, BRZ and GT86 drivers getting a rebate???

I could see the drastic move towards disposal in the early 90s when I worked as a consumer electronics tech for a major retailer. In a few years we went from a healthy business doing component-level repair to replacing circuit boards to sacking techs. The push for consumerism feels like a desperate landslide to me.

One article I read said that it has to do with DMCA. It's dangerous to reverse engineer encrypted systems, or something. I dunno. Bullshit either way.

That much is true but people talk and, undoubtedly, there were many involved in making the decision and committing resources to develop it.
