There is not much details about how they cheated, from what I understand vehicles provided for the test were the same mechanically and software wise as the ones sold to customers, so how is this cheating? It's just that software was tuned to give better emissions under test conditions. As far as I can see the test itself is flawed if it does not represent real life driving and emissions.
So they messed up test criteria and now blame VW for it and decided they can make money out of it. I bet it is not just VW but pretty much all car manufacturers that 'cheated' in similar way.
