minus-squareTh4tGuyII@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·12 days agoWeirdly enough there’s a pretty easy way to stop emissions limits from being bypassed - make it a physical limitation, not in software. But like with putting tablets into every fucking car nowadays, doing anything physically would require just a bit more money, ergo it won’t be done.
minus-squarenathan@lemmy.permisuan.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 days agoHow would that work? I’m a diesel technician and a lot of the work I do is emissions related.

minus-squarenathan@lemmy.permisuan.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·12 days agoCarburetors on a diesel engine? Also, that’s absolutely horrendous for emissions and air pollution. I think it’s essentially impossible to have emissions control not tied to software.
minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 days agoYeah because that’ll be great for emissions lol Also carbs make it pretty easy to adjust fueling, etc.
