Why can our eyes smoothly scan a moving object like a passing car or the ball at a tennis match (when our head is still), but if we try and duplicate that dynamic without a moving object they, move in big individual movements?
Seems simply to be an involuntary / voluntary thing, but it still baffles me.

It’s simply because our eyes were made to focus on targets. If you try to look across the room in a smooth motion, your mind constantly tries to find a point of focus, because your mind pieces everything together based off of perspective.
If you don’t have a point of perspective, your mind cannot build a picture of your surroundings, as there is nothing specific to compare the rest to.
