If they can see so well why do they keep running out in front of cars?

Because we haven't dumped laundry detergent over our cars (yet).

Why do deer go into the road?

In some instances, Flinn says, deer dash into traffic because they are “spooked.” They have incredible hearing and can bound into the road when they think they hear a predator. But the main reason for these collisions is that deer don’t practice safe sex. They are more focused on reproducing than safety.

To be fair to deer eyesight, the speed of a car is probably harder to judge than the speed of a bear.
