Give it 40 years and they'll cheat with spec's on their electric or hydrogen cars.
"In 1973 Chrysler along with Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Toyota, and Volkswagen had to remove ambient temperature switches which affected emissions, though the companies denied intentional cheating and said that strategies like enriching fuel mixture during cold engine warm-up periods could reduce overall pollution. The switches were ordered removed from production but cars already on the road did not have to be recalled, and fines were relatively modest

40 yrs ago?, they were not ambient temp switches, they were bi-metal spring operated auto chokes, some even got clever and routed the coolant to those springs so the chokes would come 'off' quicker
