Re: "We’re not totally clear how the car intends to deal with being rear-ended"
Of course here there would be the interesting situation that Jack the lad (or Jacky the Laddette) sees a Telsa approaching in the wing mirror (OK it's on the door these days) and jinks right to cause the Telsa driver spit their coffee as the Telsa's automatics pull an emergency stop. They hit the brakes far faster than any human driver could and so the car behind doesn't have time to react -BANG. OK, so the car behind was still too close but you've still been hit.
