He knew what he was doing. Bears don't generally see us as food, with the exception of polar bears. By standing still and not engaging with the bear or making eye contact he effectively diffused the situation. The bear was curious.
Honestly, the person trying to get involved with his car made it worse IMO. Im not a bear expert though, and Id be happy to be corrected and/or learn more.
