  He didn't swerve to miss the cars. At the start of the video he was already driving on the shoulder of the freeway (indicating that he clearly saw the cars on the road and chose to drive by them at high speeds). He wasn't even in the proper lane. Once he bypassed those cars, he then proceeded to swerve into the two protesters on the left hand side of his car. Rather than slamming on the breaks, he ran full speed into them. And again, per your own admission, he was speeding. On a freeway that was closed. Where he was caught with multiple cameras driving up the wrong entrance and then doing a U-Turn. Occam's Razor would indicate that this was not an accident at all because there's so many confounding factors that it would be absurd.

    You’re inventing a narrative. Available evidence suggests he didn’t set out to murder people, but I think little more is known. Unquestionably he was reckless and dangerous at a minimum (and the charges make sense to me). I don’t think it’s known why he went up the off ramp. Maybe drugs were involved (apparently police took something “that looked like meth” from the car, per an article I read). But bad assumptions, panic and confusion are also powerful. Just wait for the real story.
