Workers at a factory falsified test data to make it look like cars that didn't pass their internal tests passed. The cars were still complaint with the relevant regulations and the tests are not advertised to customers. Nobody got cheated except Nissan itself. It's like promising your customers 99.99% up-time, considering 99.999% up-time the bar for success internally, delivering 99.99% and then fudging the numbers so that it says 99.999% internally.
I love getting triggered by corporate misconduct as much as the next guy but the Nissan thing was a nothing-burger with a catchy headline.
Edit: Since apparently I'mWrong(TM) can explain to me how the Nissan thing is anything worth paying attention to?
Sounds an awful lot like cheating to me, but OK.
Exactly. Some stupid story that wasn't true. I rest my case.
