I'm sure you'll get the " driving is a priviledge, not a right " folks to defend this.

Frankly, the "priviledge" argument is pure garbage. The right to unencumbered travel, without fanatical control freaks interefering, is essential to personal liberty.

I await the first attempt at taking control of all actions of the driver by a future system that will be sold as a safety feature to ensure that public roads are as secure as a mother's womb.

The right to unencumbered travel,

Is this to mean unencumbered by true facts?

How about me having that same right when it comes to others obeying the rules of the road?

Isn't the idea of "in writing" full of merit in a court? Isn't this just a technological advance of that idea?

You can travel all you want unencumbered by the law, it's the vehicle you choose that matters. Are you arguing that you should be able to take a large private airplane up without having to prove your competency or having to obey the rules of flight once up there? If your choice of vehicle has the potential to be a severely lethal object then you have to agree to some regulation of your travel. Otherwise walk, ride a horse, or ride a bicycle.
