If cars had been as popular as guns when the U.S. Bill of Rights was written, then such a right might have been included.

Hypothetically, "Motorized transportation, being necessary to the mobility of a free State, the right of the people to keep and drive automobiles shall not be infringed."

Imagine the vehicles we would have. For one thing, the impossible-to-meet CAFE standards, which make it economically infeasible to sell compact pickup trucks in the U.S., would probably have been declared unconstitutional. On the other hand, laws requiring seatbelts and airbags probably would have also been unconstitutional.

It's worth noting that freedom of transit and use of public ways (literally the original "right of way") is such an ancient and obvious part of common law that the Framers didn't deign it necessary to include it as an explicit right, instead relegating it with "the rest of them" in the Ninth Amendment.

While that sounds good, I don't really see how it is relevant? You can be detained in the US just for being near the border. Which by the way includes the entire state of Florida, despite it not sharing a land border with any other nations.

Your example is quit fitting given that it's another clear abrogation of ancient rights, specifically the right not to be arbitrarily detained.
