VW engineer pleads guilty to diesel emissions scandal James Robert Liang, who has worked for VW since 1983, was the leader of diesel competence for VW from 2008 until June. The 62-year-old German citizen, who lives in Newbury Park, California, appeared in U.S. District Court on Friday to enter his guilty plea to conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government.



His lawyer, Daniel Nixon, said after the hearing that his client was "very remorseful."



What's the proper definition of remorse in this situation?

No, no, He's a German engineer, he is remorseful about making an inadequate machine.

That's engineers for you. They face challenges of varying degrees and sometimes they'll think outside the box. It was quite a novel solution to this problem for sure! For more information on this, Google Kobayashi Maru.
