be careful what you wish for, you are giving up your freedom to movement in the name of security. you might make the argument that you can hail a cab. that's more expensive than owning your own car and with self driving cabs you will lose your privacy when you use them. any movement between 2 points will always be recorded with at least video and as you are moving, someone else other than you can pinpoint your exact location. with your own vehicle, you could unplug your phone and car GPS/tracking device and have some privacy.

> you are giving up your freedom to movement in the name of security

Driving in American cities is the opposite of freedom. The necessity of regulating apes piloting heavy machinery in close proximity to each other and society is a major source of our modern police state.

No, it is still freedom.

It is inconvenient freedom, but it’s freedom.

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.
