I'm been reading Bruce Schneier for years - he's remarkably on the ball and todays post sums up a lot of my impressions of the IoT:
"And they'll cheat smarter. For all of VW's brazenness, its cheating was obvious once people knew to look for it. Far cleverer would be to make the cheating look like an accident. Overall software quality is so bad that products ship with thousands of programming mistakes." https://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram/archives/2015/1015.html If you've been following the VW scam reports it's pretty clear that making a "coding error" to reproduce the same effect would have probably been quite trivial and given them deniability - "That's not a feature, that's a bug" or vice verca.
