The diesel emissions scandal is nothing to worry about as a consumer. The details matter - what they did was make the cars more fuel efficient by adhering to European emissions standards, which weren't legal in America.
As a car buyer I'd have preferred to have the more efficient car with the EU legal emissions than the "fixed" ones that followed.
VW violated EU and UK emission laws too. They were not legal.

You see, those regulations are for cars, what we are seeing here are bodyworked, paired, single command, fully mothorized bycicles... it's not the same
Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
The Volkswagen emissions scandal, sometimes known as Dieselgate or Emissionsgate, began in September 2015, when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a notice of violation of the Clean Air Act to German automaker Volkswagen Group. The agency had found that Volkswagen had intentionally programmed turbocharged direct injection (TDI) diesel engines to activate their emissions controls only during laboratory emissions testing, which caused the vehicles' NOx output to meet US standards during regulatory testing. However, the vehicles emitted up to 40 times more NOx in real-world driving. Volkswagen deployed this software in about 11 million cars worldwide, including 500,000 in the United States, in model years 2009 through 2015.^article^ ^|^ ^about^
Why would anyone want this bot? If I'm summarizing wiki and include a link, why does a bot need to do it again but worse because it doesn't summarize the relevant part.
Sorry. The bot has no way of really knowing if you already summarized it or not. I'll make sure to add an opt-out functionality soon if you no longer want the bot to reply to you.
Edit: done, pm the bot "optout" to get opted out.
Agreed. This is the first time I've seen it. I guess I'm just going to have to block it if it starts to become a thing.
