OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.
How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we’re going to allow Elon to murder every year?

This sounds made up
If you think physics is made up, sure…
I don’t think hitting more gas is going to gently slide the 300 pound buck under my car. It’s just going to increase the impact force.
Sliding the deer under your car is also really bad for you. It’s going to do a lot of damage under there such as ripping break lines, destroying ball joints, or fragging your differentials. You need to safely shed as much speed as possible while maintaining your lane when about to hit a deer.
Considering suspension, if you accelerate there’s a lowering of the back of the car/raising of the front.
Conversely, breaking has the opposite effect, increasing the chances of the deer rolling over your hood and through your windshield.
You’ll want to minimize that, hence the acceleration.
When you learn how to drive you’ll understand why everything you’re saying is nonsense.
Read the other comments in this thread for why it doesn’t work like that
The physics is F=(m*v)/t
I.e. the greater the velocity the greater the force of impact.
A moving vehicle in real life is a bit more complicated of an equation, factor in the car’s angle towards the horizontal as you accelerate or brake, that’s the original point, but whatever.
So almost zero difference. Cars do not rock back and forth like a yo-yo when they accelerate or brake.
Now factor in the difference of force between hitting something at 40 and hitting something at 80 or more.
You and that other person trying to argue this are probably the dumbest people I’ve ever seen on this site.
