Toyota has a pre-crash system that will steer the car away to a point to minimize the impact of a crash and most likely the Prius will be one of the first to get this technology.
Would you want this technology in your Prius?
this is a better explanation of the pre-crash system:

from http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/23/toyota-safety-tech-can-take-steering-control-to-avoid-impactToyota is working on a new pre-crash system that will actually take control and steer the vehicle to minimize impact in the event of an unavoidable collision. The system combines super-sensitive radar with a camera array in the front fascia to detect possible impacts. On-board computers then calculate the correct levels of braking and steering required to avoid the crash, and if the driver fails to act, the automatic system takes over.
