The 1998 California legislature was full of people who were adults before the interstate highway system was built. And the Patriot Act was passed in 2001; doesn't mean the sentiment doesn't date to the McCarthy era.

While there is no right to driving automobiles there is a right to travel and interstate commerce. Notably there is no right to travel at a specific speed or in a specific way so it follows that there is some right to travel by car, and the various tracking mechanisms of vehicles violate the 4th.

Saying there is no right to travel via automobile is like saying certain methods of disseminating speech are not protected.
