1. A motor-vehicle anti-accident method comprising:
a. predicting, by an onboard computer of a first motor-vehicle, one or more future vehicle control actions of a second motor-vehicle which are predicted to be performed by the second motor-vehicle in order to avoid an impending collision with an object other than the first motor-vehicle, the second motor-vehicle being different from the first motor-vehicle;
b. based on the predicting of the one or more future vehicle control actions of the second motor-vehicle, computationally predicting, by the on-board computer of the first motor-vehicle, that a motor-vehicle accident involving the first motor-vehicle and the second motor-vehicle will occur; and
c. in response to the predicting of the motor-vehicle accident, performing, by the onboard computer of the first motor-vehicle, at least one vehicle control action so as to attempt at least one of the following: (i) avoiding collision of the first motor-vehicle with the second motor-vehicle and (ii) minimizing damage to the first motor-vehicle caused by the collision of the first motor-vehicle with the second motor-vehicle.
