Car makers like Volkswagen should have an even tougher time cheating on emissions tests than they first thought. The Environmental Protection Agency has revealed that it’ll include considerably more real-world diesel emissions tests as part of its improved inspections. The on-the-road testing isn’t as sophisticated as what you’d find in the lab, but it should reduces the chances that companies will fudge results. Moreover, vendors won’t get a chance at optimizing for the EPA’s new tests — it’s keeping its exact methodology a secret.
