AHA! Found this, guys... From an article on vox.com...
"Since 2009, we now know, Volkswagen had been inserting intricate code in its vehicle software that tracked steering and pedal movements. When those movements suggested that the car was being tested for nitrogen-oxide emissions in a lab, the car automatically turned its pollution controls on. The rest of the time, the pollution controls switched off."

Here's a Washington Post article (a link from the Vox article) on how they did it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ehind-how-volkswagen-tricked-emissions-tests/

I still hope Paul Elio will choose to use free software for their engine control system - such as ProteanOS: http://www.libiquity.com/software. In that case owners would be able to set their engine up to do whatever they choose and Elio would be off the hook.

Hmmm!
Bexar Co. tests emissions. Kerr Co. doesn't. And that's within 50 miles of each other.
Then again Kerr is strict on water during drought. Bexar lets you water your golf course.
Go figure.
Nope it is a Continental EMS.
