Top Fuel dragsters, the fastest-accelerating vehicles in the world, are the most recognizable of all drag race cars. These cars are limited to a 25-foot body and are very low to the ground.

The emissions of these cars were 40 times higher than the limits stated in United States emotions laws.

This blunder has cost Volkswagen $15 billion, the jobs of those employees involved, and their reputation. Executives deny connections to the scandal and say lower level employees alone are to blame. Although this begs the question; what would an ethical engineer do in such a situation? Refusing to cooperate with his superiors, risks compromising his loyalty to the company and losing his job. However, if the scandal remains hidden, James has not only lied, but he has directly increased harmful emotions which harm the environment. He now faces 5 years in prison followed by deportation.
