I guess that they are smarter than physical laws. F=ma. The more m you have, the more f you will have. Add in a bunch of a and you will have a hell of a mess.
Gravity: It’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.
Sorry, just a little physics humor for a Friday.

"F=ma."

Not exactly. We are talking about kinetic energy which is one half the mass times the velocity squared (½ mv²). This means that the relative mass of the two objects is much more significant such that a collision with a larger vehicle has the effect of greatly amplifying the effective velocity of the smaller vehicle.
