Yes, but the specific definition of a motor vehicle is related to that part of commerce included in the business of "operating".
The other commercial aspects, the mere navigation of the vessel, may be for 'private transit purpose', since apparently it is important to what end we put these auto-mobile machines, the question of "carrying", or not.
Just walking around is commerce, as far as it involves interaction with others, but it's not "operating". We have a traditional immunity against unwarranted interference with our right to travel.
Rights only exist in commerce, so yes this is commercial and we are traditionally immune from legal interference, as a general principle. This is apart from 'operating a motor vehicle', or 'incidental use', or the act of 'navigation'.
we have Rights, Privileges and Immunities-
both 'operating' AND 'steering', 'piloting', 'navigating' may ALL be privileges of some sort or another, but of a different nature and regulation for each one.
