One more reason for publishing the source code to drive-line software in cars. And don't give me nonsense about 'millions of lines of code' (I've heard that before in another context too), an ECU is not 'millions of lines of code'.
And as far as VW is concerned this is only the beginning: how many customers are going to sue VW for a sudden decrease in market value / resale value of their vehicle?
The damage to the VW brand is enormous, if not fatal. But the damage to 'Made in Germany' and the rest of the German brands is collosal as well. This will surely be reflected in the GDP of Germany for many years to come.
