Well, it's a matter of playing the game.  The test procedure is canned, so 
they can cheat based on knowing what the test entails.

They can get a 10 star rating by reinforcing the car for the exact tests.  I 
don't doubt every firm in the business does it at least a little.

If there are any here from ASU CS programme, they'll know what I say when I 
compare it with Prof. Whitehouse's automated testing system.  In theory, a 
product which merely scanned the input and fed the desired output on the test 
cases can get 50 percent, without actually doing any computation.
