So this is going to happen once they've built the car + engine, and started selling it? Is 'car tester' going to become a side-hustle?

I agree that a degree of randomness is likely a good idea to avoid defeat devices, but one also has to consider that it could have two unintended consequences: 1) more expensive cars, due to more stringent QA procedures 2) relaxing of standards to ensure that companies can still practically make cars that conform to 'standards.'

As ever, it's important to consider that a layman's "seems reasonable to me" is another experts "that's not how things work."




"The average driver" is unlikely to change their driving style very quickly, so the tests would be reasonably reproducible from year to year.
