Coming up this week, how do you solve a problem like the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal. Not just the scandal itself, but the canary in a coalmine risks the scandal unveiled. Potential threats we might have thought unthinkable ten, heck, maybe five years ago. They were realized in brutal form during the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal.

On this week’s episode, I explore the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal. And I delve into the two major threats that I believe still remain, even though the scandal itself is somewhat over. Threats that I believe are exponentially bigger, and more dangerous, than anything Volkswagen did.

Correction: During the episode, I refer to charges being laid against Volkswagen by the Department of Defence. This is an error. Charges were laid by the Department of Justice.
