1). I've driven an Opel which shut the engine off at speed, and thus I suddenly lost all power steering on a curve.
2). I've driven a Prius which hard-braked the outside wheels on a roundabout, and almost pulled the car into the armco.
3). I've had women grab my driving arm with both hands while driving narrow switchbacks in the California mountains.
4). I've had women suddenly shout "STOP!" into my ear top of her lungs while making a fast pass and lane change. This was after she just desperately instructed me to make the same turn happen.
5). I've had women point left "No that way", while I was turning right. Their fingernail scratching my cheek or nose while barely missing my eyeball because I ignored the hand of female dominance. That has happened more than once.
(and in case you were wondering: in #3-#5 I was only keeping up with normal traffic at the speed limit with traffic behind me.)
The moral of this story is:
Keep your filthy hands off my car controls you damn dirty apes.
Now guess what is mandatory on all Toyota 2017 models:
Toyota Safety Sense
it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake, by using an audio and visual alert.
the system may provide additional braking force using Brake Assist.
the system may automatically apply the brakes
(Blinding the driver while parking him square on the train tracks or in the middle of a busy intersection. Something big and fast comes by and smears him/her/them/all into red jelly stain on the concrete. Genius. Sure. No sir, that is not a now-pending major class action lawsuit just waiting to be filed against Toyota Corp when something bad happens next, no sir.)
the system may provide small corrective steering inputs to the steering wheel
(Forcing the driver to run over that massive A-arm-snapping pothole in the middle of the road.)
then automatically switches between high and low beams as appropriate
(Blinding him when it's foggy out, and removing all control of your own headlights at night. More genius.)
this system adds a vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode which assists the driver by adjusting vehicle speed
the system is designed to automatically decelerate your vehicle without having to cancel the cruise control.
the system may apply the brakes, may alert the driver by using an audio and visual alert, and may operate your vehicle brake lights.
(Defensive driving can sometimes be to claim your lane and hold onto it. This prevents a group of knuckleheads from swerve driving all over the place or suddenly cutting you off and brake checking you. You claim your space and they leave you alone. Checkmating them three moves in advance and prevented a problem.)
