VAG trdi, da s svojim sleparjenjem ni prekršil pravil EU o varstvu potrošnikov, da je že našel tehnično rešitev, ki je že na voljo za več kot pol sleparskih avtomobilov. Zato VW ne vidi nobenega temelja za dodatne odškodnine.

VW says did not break EU consumer rules in emissions scandal
In a letter to Jourova dated Sept. 7 and seen by Reuters on Thursday, Volkswagen said a technical fix had been found and was already available for more than 50 percent of the affected vehicles across the 28 EU member states.
"We therefore believe there is no room or need for any additional compensation," Volkswagen said in the letter signed by its head of public affairs, Thomas Steg.

Kaj pa lastniki tiste slabe polovice avtomobilov überkoncerna, za katere VAG še ni zagotovil tehnične rešitve in popravila, ki bo izpolnilo emisijske predpise? Ti avti bi morali po vseh pravilih nevidne roke trga (rabljenih avtov) danes dosegati nižje cene, kot v normalnih okoliščinah.

The U.S. Justice Department has formed a threat analysis team to study potential national security challenges posed by self-driving cars, medical devices and other Internet-connected tools, a senior official said.
The new group's goal is to secure the so-called "internet of things" from exploitation by “terrorist threats” and by others who might try to hack devices to cause loss of life or achieve political or economic gain, according to Assistant Attorney General John Carlin, head of the Justice Department’s national security division.
He cited the July truck attack in Nice, France, in which 86 people were killed, as an example of how automated driving systems could present a national security threat if they were remotely hijacked.
"The internet on wheels ... clearly is going to present national security risks as this transformation takes place,” Carlin said.
