So how did driving (a car) become a privelage?


It didn't.


It is recognized in law as a privelage, not a right. At least in the US.
(or the states with which I am familiar)


You are familiar with states that deny licenses to those that have met all
the qualifications for them? What states are those?

I have held drivers licenses in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois. In all
of those states a license must be issued to qualified applicants, they have
a right to it. A license cannot be arbitrarily denied to qualified
applicants as a privilege can.
