On the contrary, owning and driving an automobile is a privilege. I'm not sure what the laws are across all states but in California, you get a DUI and you lose your license for a period of time. A 2nd time and you lose it for a longer period of time. All that and you may not have even killed someone! There are laws governing speed, the design of cars is constantly changing in a supposed effort to improve safety PLUS, you need to have insurance to own and operate an automobile. Plus roads are often changed (barriers installed for example) to help prevent accidents or idiots behind the wheel causing accidents.
You could solve the auto accident issue by prohibiting vehicles or, you could at least mandate licenses and insurance to drive them, tougher "automobile control" laws etc.
I'd draw a slight parallel between automobile speeding laws and laws governing the speed with which a gun can let loose a barrage of bullets.
