Learned the BAS and ABS and VSC are all in good working order in the Highlander. Haven't driven it in a quite some time, so took it to the gym tonight. On the way there, a homeless guy on a bike suddenly veers off the sidewalk onto the street, basically RIGHT in front of me. I was sure his life was over. I jammed the brake pedal, the BAS took it to full braking and I swerved. I'm not sure I could have fit a piece of paper between the guy's arm and my passenger mirror.
My HR was probably 220 as I drive to the next light. He didn't even seem to notice he'd just about lost his life. The road is an 80 zone, so a full on impact at that speed would, I'm pretty sure, have been the end of him.
