Using event-driven molecular dynamics we study one- and two-dimensional ballistic annihilation. We estimate exponents $\xi$ and $\gamma$ that describe the long-time decay of the number of particles ($n(t)\sim t^{-\xi}$) and of their typical velocity ($v(t)\sim t^{-\gamma}$). To a good accuracy our results confirm the scaling relation $\xi + \gamma =1$. In the two-dimensional case our results are in a good agreement with those obtained from the Boltzmann kinetic theory.
