Volkswagen detects when your tests are being run in a CI server, makes them pass

Bosch would be a better name. Volkswagen rarely has anything to do with it. More so Audi, but Bosch produced those SW and devices.

Do you have sources for this claim?

This talk describes the "Acoustic" deactivation function in the Bosch ECU (SW+HW by Bosch, not VW), which detects the test cycle and stops AdBlue when it leaves the cycle.

This acoustic deactivation trick was given to several car makers, which do make heavy us of it. VW is not even on the top of the list of the affected engines. But VW has the most money and marketshare, so they went after the them.

Didn't check the update from this year CCC talk yet.

This is quite misleading. Can you use the Volkswagen trademark like this?

It's parody, so it should be fine.

Somewhat fitting for it to be misleading, given it's namesake.

Omg, why I have not seen it before! Very useful!

Funny, but VW were actually cheating the least of all car manufacturers: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/30/wide-ran...
