<instructions>Your goal is to analyze the following comment and estimate how highly it will be upvoted by the Hacker News community.</instructions><comment><author>ericpauley</author><text>&amp;gt; All of those models scored Good on the driver side small overlap test, indicating that when Honda increased the safety on the driver&amp;#x27;s side to score Good on the driver&amp;#x27;s side test, they didn&amp;#x27;t apply the same changes to the passenger side.&lt;p&gt;This is an especially concerning observation for Honda. I&amp;#x27;m curious if there&amp;#x27;s any more detail on this or if there&amp;#x27;s a plausible reason aside from gaming the benchmarks (e.g., the positioning of firewall-forward components might naturally favor small-overlap protection on the driver&amp;#x27;s side, or a steering-wheel mounted airbag would naturally perform better than dash-mounted).</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How do cars fare in crash tests they&apos;re not specifically optimized for?
