CLEAN : German auto giant Volkswagen slams into huge false emission scam

The video discusses the initial hypothesis that diesel vehicles could be clean in the U.S., which was disproven by tests on Volkswagen cars. An investigation revealed software manipulation to evade emission standards. This highlights the need for stronger regulatory measures and random testing to ensure compliance. The issue raises public health concerns and questions about global practices, especially given the U.S.'s stringent standards.

What was the initial hypothesis about diesel vehicles in the U.S.?
