	This activates a question I've frequently pondered.  What to do 
when you know you're about to be rear-ended.  I know it's a non-linear, 
highly complex situation with multiple output goals, e.g.optimizing car 
survival; optimizing passenger and driver survival(is the order here a 
Freudian slip); and less important but still to be considered 
the impact (no pun intended, but not bad for me) on the car in front and 
the one bearing down on me.
	I know there is no yes/no answer but the thinking others have put 
into this question will be appreciated.  TIA
