    If it makes you feel better, I had the same thing happen years ago (not the Prius), but it was a fender from a trailer that was lying in the road. First I saw it was when the vehicle in front cleared it. So, I saw it but had no place to swerve. Put a nice dent in the oil pan with a faint drip. However, the car behind me barely stopped in time and tapped me in the rear. The guy behind him never touched his brakes. Double-rear end collision.

    As the '16 Gen 4 models are lower, it could have been worse, eh?

    Let us know what you decide and how you come to that decision... I frequently run into similar dilemmas.

    As for complaining to AAA, I found their roadside service to be unacceptably slow (they took over an hour to arrive when I was trapped outside in temperatures well below zero), and their insurance to be unethical (they tried to climb into my backyard to see if I was hiding the insured item there... my neighbor had to threaten to call the cops on them after she caught them trying to scale her fence).
