It's hard to read this without being cynical.

How seriously would you take a proposal on car pollution regulation and traffic law updates written by Volkswagen?

[SpicyLemonZest]

If Volkswagen's competitors ran around saying that cars aren't dangerous and there's no need to regulate them, and their critics insisted that you're a mark if you accept the premise that cars are a useful transportation method at all, I don't suppose I'd have a choice but to take it seriously. If you know of a similar analysis from a less conflicted group I'd love to read it!
