Yes, basically if the car senses that you have entered a curve with too much speed or throttle given your steering angle and the friction available to each wheel, it will selectively apply individual brakes and cut throttle to keep you on your steered line. I had the chance to experience this in a different vehicle make in a controlled track situation, and it is amazing what it will do if you are doing slolom maneuvers with your foot basically planted on the floorboard. You always will retain control of steering, and when you reduce throttle the car will recover to normal controls. I believe there is a flash graphic on the Highlander Toyota web site that illustrates how it works.
