It is difficult to believe how old this is, yet what resolution is there?

So, Volkswagen wanted to prove how clean their diesels were, so they had people suck fumes. On the one hand, Germans causing people to inhale toxic gases looks especially bad, but on the other hand, since the steering wheel was not moving, the exhaust was less toxic.

Volkswagen is trying to get their trial delayed by six months because a documentary suggested historical precedent.
