Freedom of choice is a joke and dangerous. This ain’t the wild wild west where you can just shoot someone cause you feel like it. There are many many choices you are simply not going to be allowed to make, and that is necessary, fair and good.

If you actually read the article… it’s LOADED with choice at no point does it say anyone is forced to do anything against their will.

Slippery slope there buddy
Who gets to determine whether the choices I am "ALLOWED" to make are "necessary, fair and good" choices ?
Governments are like vampires, they need permission to enter your life, but once they're in they suck you dry

Humans are the most social species on the planet and social norms are part of our nature. As societies grew social norms necessarily grew into law, policies, and formal government, but we've always had something like that and it has been key to human progress.

Getting the size and reach of government IS IMPORTANT, but without governments we'd not have made it far. Not all governments are bad and nor is every act of a government bad.

I would tend to agree
However less government is always better than more government
The reason why the 2nd exists is to protect us from people who want to protect us from ourselves
I would argue governments have held us back more so than advancing us forward
Remember when practicing science was blasphemy?
Remember when free thinking women were burned at the stake

It can be simplified. We both compromise.

lolwut? You are saying you would kill someone who gets confused and gets on your property by mistake? That's exactly why your freedom to kill people interferes with other people's right to not be killed. There are circumstances where you can take deadly action, like in some states defending property or when necessary for self defense...but just because someone is "on your property"...that is sick. That's exactly why we have to have laws, lawyers, police, etc. Living in a civilized society is all about compromising so two or more parties both get something they can live with.

How would I know the difference? Is the onus on the property owner or the trespasser ?

Lets take that to the conclusion, the person that may be injured, confused or looking for help that wandered onto property should just shoot the property owner first, you know, to be safe.

Some people can’t see that compromise is necessary so everyone can have a reasonable amount of freedom. We can debate to what extent that should exist and what it constitutes, but to argue absolutes (“I have absolute freedom!”) is ridiculous and any sane person knows that cannot exist outside of owning your own private nation-island. So when it comes to a law like this European one, it may go too far, but the idea that you can just do whatever you want at any time is equally flawed, because your freedom ends at my freedom, or privacy, you don’t have an absolute right to total privacy.

West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency ruling by SCOTUS requires regulations like this to go through legislative process so they're accountable to voters. That's effectively a death nail for this type of crap in the United States. Americans won't stand for it.

That's why people are for reasonable regulation, this all or nothing attitude shows a profound lack of nuance.

What? That case was about carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal and natural gas fired power plants.

It has literally nothing to do with vehicles.

Your limited understanding of the situation is very clear.

The impact of the prevailing opinion is regulations that impact society broadly need to go through the legislative process so they're accountable to voters.

Yes, the case involved the EPA attempting to regulate coal-fired power generation out of existence; and how they don't have the power to do so without a clear directive from the peoples representatives. This legal precedent would ABSOLUTELY apply to say, the DOT regulating mandatory speed limiting technology. Because society changing regulations like speed limiting technology would have to win the approval of voters, it will never happen in the United States.

West Virginia v EPA was a HUGE win for democracy and reigning in out of control bureaucracy.

Anyone that's interested can find the judgement at the link below.
