"For a defeat device to be found, there needs to be an intention to cause the emissions control system to operate differently when it senses it is being tested," from BBC News - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mye0d1297o
I mean, this is an ECU software. It is really hard to write any function in a software without intent. Especially ones that monitor conditions and behave differently based on said conditions.

Further from the article: "It was not enough for the Claimants simply to establish that the challenged strategies reduced the effectiveness of emissions-control systems outside the relevant testing conditions."
