Volkswagen diesel emissions discrepancy was allegedly first revealed 18 months ago
VW U.S. CEO Michael Horn told lawmakers on Capitol Hill that individuals within the company acting on their own, rather than on orders from top executives, were responsible for creating and introducing the emissions-cheating software to Volkswagen diesel cars.
"This was a couple of software engineers who put this in for whatever reason," Horn told the House of Representatives Oversight and Investigations panel this week. "To my understanding, this was not a corporate decision. This was something individuals did."
Horn did not name the individuals believed to be ultimately responsible, and was not certain on the exact number of people who designed the emissions-cheating software.
