I think that question is deeper than it seems at first glance.
Given that we can learn things like operating cars just as well as walking it doesn't seem to be the case that evolution focused on giving us pre-programmed methods for moving around.
If we don't come with pre-programmed methods for moving around, the question is why didn't evolution give us those methods? Maybe not giving a species pre-programmed methods for dealing with some common problems gave us creativity. It might be the seed of our human intelligence.
