The auto industry has long been known for its negative environmental impact. From the emissions produced by vehicles to the resources required to manufacture them, the industry has a significant footprint. Additionally, the industry has been caught cheating on emissions tests, leading to increased pollution and health problems. One way the auto industry cheats is by using defeat devices, which are designed to turn off emissions controls when a vehicle is being tested. This allows the vehicle to pass emissions tests while still emitting harmful pollutants into the air. Another way the auto industry cheats is by manipulating fuel economy tests. By using special techniques, automakers can make their vehicles appear more fuel-efficient than they actually are. This can lead consumers to purchase vehicles that are not as environmentally friendly as they believe.
