Five Automakers Face Trial Over Emissions Cheating

A major lawsuit is set to begin in the UK against Mercedes, Ford, Peugeot/Citroën, Renault, and Nissan over allegations of cheating on emissions tests using defeat devices, part of the ongoing dieselgate scandal. The case could involve 1.6 million car owners and is the largest class action in UK legal history, with a verdict expected by summer 2026. The companies deny the allegations, which claim they misled consumers about vehicle emissions and continued to emit harmful pollutants.

Tesla Ranked as the 'Creepiest' Carmaker, with 25 Brands Failing Data Privacy Tests

Tesla, Nissan, and Hyundai are among the car brands that failed basic data privacy tests conducted by the Mozilla Foundation. In its Privacy Not Included Research, Mozilla found that none of the 25 car brands reviewed passed the tests, with Tesla being marked for untrustworthy use of AI. The research revealed that carmakers collect excessive personal data and often share or sell it to third parties. Renault, Dacia, and BMW were considered the "least creepy" options, but overall, the lack of control and options for consumers in terms of privacy in the automotive industry is a concern.

Luxury car makers have proven less exposed, but manufacturers targeting mid-range buyers are already under pressure from successive price cuts by Tesla Inc. Stellantis dipped to a three-month low after reporting disappointing sales in Europe, where a downturn is looming. Ford anticipates more downward pressure on prices, now that supply-chain blockages have eased and more vehicles are being produced.
