This time I was on a winding road with few on coming cars and I did not approach a lot of vehicles from the rear so the brights stayed on. It did not diim the brights when I went under streetlights. When there was an oncoming vehicle or I came up on a vehicle it dimmed the brights. It would not wait until the vehicle was fully facing me on winding roads before it dimmed them. It dimmed them a good distance back when I approached a vehicle but not to the point where it interfered with the bright lights usefulness.

The only thing I don't like is that the turn signal lever is forward to turn on the brights and that is not the normal position so when I go to use the turn signals its not where it normally is.

This is a very functional feature of Toyota Safety Sense and I will use it often.
I don't know where the optimum line is between automation and human intervention, but I believe we are headed to a state of existence like that in the "Idiocracy" movie.
