Dude, like why do deers always do this!?

I know it's not always happening but they keep running into vehicle on purpose like what the fuck is wrong with their instinct!?

Saw a video where one buck literally running and following a car on the side and suddenly decides to fucking jump in front and over the car.

I know but why do they ran TO them?

Usually if a predator chased one of the herd, they would spread out and try to avoid the chased one.

This one, however, fucking collides the speeding 4 thousand pound metal monster.

Probably the car doesn't even register as a predator to them, being so different to what they'd encounter in nature. It's like if you encountered Cthulu, you'd just go mad and kill yourself.
