Horses propel themselves by legwork, but I still drive them forward... another defintion might differ. My "pedal to the metal" makes the horses in the engine vroom.
As to new things included by the use of "persons or property"- that could be that the definition was extended to include everyone and everything, when used for that purpose, or as though for that purpose. Popular demand created a DL and registration scheme available to those who wished to use it, even though they were not "carrying for hire".
Thats how we get today, "transportation for hire", which should be a redundancy, but now means;
"actually carrying for hire or profit"
wheras transportation now means:
"carrying as though for hire"
So a new helpful benefit has been turned into an impostion...
