Hey everyone,
As I was braking on an off-ramp from the highway, a message suddenly popped up that said "brake assist inactive" and I immediately lost power steering. Brakes seemed okay and I was able to get home fine, I drove at a low speed to minimize brake use though and I had no power steering at all.
Does anyone have any ideas on what may have happened or experienced something similar?

Check the belts, especially the one which drives the power steering pump

Totally hit the nail on the head; the belt was destroyed (shredded bits around the engine bay). Bought a new belt and put it in today.I'll change the timing belt tomorrow as a precaution.
This would be the perfect time to replace both of your belt tensioner assemblies. Autohausaz has them.
Was that your silver Schnitzer I saw last week?
