One thing I've got down to instinct is to swerve toward the tail end of the deer if possible. Deer typically will continue forward if they move rather than do an about-face. If I've got time to stop, I choose breaking. If not, I swerve.
I think AI will get better at making this decision than humans at one point, if they aren't already there. In high school a friend of mine was surprised by a deer as we went around a bend and he hit his brake, causing the car to spin out almost in a full 360, fortunately staying on the road and not hitting anything. The typical driver has pretty bad instincts with regards to handling surprises.
