  -> a ja nie widzialam, co proponujesz
neutral  Polangmar: Zdecydowanie z "high". || Jednak po przemyśleniu: pytanie nie dotyczy przymiotnika - a "accelerate" byłoby stylistycznie niedobre.

drive to velocity


Explanation:
nadawanie im dużej prędkości - driving them to high velocity (velocities)

Ponieważ wcześniej w zdaniu jest o przyśpieszaniu, więc dałbym jak wyżej, aby uniknąć niezręcznego powtórzenia.

neutral  dinde: za to driving stytlistycznie swietnie komponuje się z driving me crazy

  -> Cóż, czasownik "drive" jest używany w bardzo licznych wyrażeniach - nie sądzę, aby zbyt wielu osobom kojarzył się, zwłaszcza w technicznym kontekście, akurat ze zwrotem "to drive sb crazy".
