It is different in that VW lied and said their cars were compliant. They are not. Not even close.
The two have nothing in common. Zero. A 'learning mode' allows the car to achieve higher mileage but stay within the emissions limits. VW had a 'test mode' (that was NEVER active on the road) and a 'dirty mode' that was ALWAYS active on the road.
The VW 'learn mode' was 'someone is checking the car, cut power and run cleaner'.
