Reuters
A U.S. regulatory agency has found a new kind of device in Audi vehicles that lowers a car’s carbon dioxide emissions during testing, says Reuters news agency, citing a report by German weekly newspaper Bild am Sonntag. The California Air Resources Board is said to have detected a software in a vehicle of the German carmaker that registers whether the car’s steering wheel is being moved and switches a carbon-dioxide reducing mechanism on or off accordingly, Reuters reports. Audi previously admitted using another cheating software that its parent company Volkswagen installed in more than eleven million of its vehicles.
