Last year I was driving through rural Utah. It was near sunset and I was driving about 50 mph on a 2 lane highway. Suddenly a deer appeared right in front of me. I had to suddenly swerve to avoid hitting it. "Safety Sense" did nothing.....

I think it would be great if Toyota added deer to car, pedestrian, and bicycle sensing. Maybe one day soon!

Maybe one day Toyota could put a sensor on the roof to avoid an airplane impact or a lightning strike by Zeus.. Realistically, if the car's AI such as it is is programmed to stop itself when it detects an unlimited number of obstacles (newspapers blowing across the road, highway debris, boulders or trees or potholes close by when driving off road) the car would be continually slamming on its brakes. The human driver must bear primary responsibility for accident avoidance and evasive manuevers.

Deer would be a great option for me and many others. I live in a rural area and am continuously avoiding deer and many friends and family have totaled their vehicles when hitting a deer. It's a very serious concern for many people. We are much more likely to hit a deer versus a pedestrian, unlike city folk.

The pre-collision detection even on the 2023 is extremely poor it doesn't really warn you or anything it only activates last second. The CRV on the other hand will warn you will slow you down Will baby you and protect you it's such a sad thing Toyota hasn't improved this as it's the most important part of all the safety systems.

I had mine happen twice now, I got too close to a car waiting to turn left, and it beeped and I evidently got too close cause when I went to go around them and accelerate the pedal did nothing.

My cautionary warning is that if this happens and then you need to move quickly, the car just sits for a bit, I turned my sensitivity down and it hasn't happened since.

Maybe it's telling me that I am driving too agressive!

Sounds kind of similar to the incidents described here

A scary hesitation experience in my RAV4 Prime

I've had my 21 Prime since last August and after 6500 miles I really like almost everything about it, but yesterday I had an experience that was downright scary. I did a brief search here but couldn't find any other posts that described this problem. I was at a stop sign waiting to make a left...

TSS 2.5 tried to kill me today!

I thought TSS was supposed to be a bunch of safety features, not something designed to kill me. Here's a drawing of the situation. Be kind, I'm not an artist and I did this in Microsoft Paint. This is a very nasty turn. It's not an intersection, just an entrance to my complex. I have to...

That second link is mine and it just happened to me.

BTW, which setting did you turn down the sensitivity on? I may need to do that to mine.
