"crash partner"? That's a really weird and indirect term. If I'm in a collision with another driver, he's not my "partner".

I'm not in the field; I just picked it up from the wikipedia page. They call it the "crash partner vehicle". Searching reveals that's what it's sometimes called in the vehicle safety industry.
Maybe he should be.
A lot of problems with driving come with people treating it as adversarial situation, instead of cooperative one.
Adversary?
