DESCRIPTION:*What did we learn? What have we changed? What else is waiting
  for us?*\n\nSince vehicle emission standards were introduced 50 years ago
 \, manufacturers have optimized vehicles and emission control systems arou
 nd the testing requirements while government agencies keep updating the re
 quirements to try to make sure the reductions also occur in the real world
 . VW pleaded guilty in the US to fraud\, obstruction of justice and falsif
 ying statements as part of a $4.3 billion settlement reached with the U.S.
  Justice Department. The company was caught due to a relatively new innova
 tion\, a miniaturized emission lab that fits in the truck of the car. But 
 the real scandal was finding that almost all manufacturers in Europe were 
 also shutting off diesel emission controls in the real world – and that 
 the gap between official CO2 measurements and real world CO2 emissions in 
 Europe grew from 8% in 2001 to 38% in 2016. Governments in Europe have res
 ponded and are trying to close the loopholes\, but there are structural pr
 oblems with enforcement in Europe that are limiting the response.\n\nAll C
