We do not have a freedom to movement _by motor vehicle_ in the US.

It is a privilege licensed by the State and regularly revoked through due process or expiry.

While your concern about mobility and privacy are valid, I would contend that public safety is what it’s to be weighed against. Some people really are better riders than drivers.

We do not have a "right", in practice, we have some degree of practical freedom.

Of course people who really don't like that freedom will play up the privilige vs right angle as they see fit to advance their goals.
