Yeah it’s a lot easier to go fast when you’re the only one on the “road”. Let me know how it goes when you have hundreds of air taxis waiting to take off and land. And I don’t even want to think about how you’re expected to handle traffic in front of you.
You have vastly more space to work with in 3d than 1.5d. Also, these things are going to be automated from the start, so you don’t have to worry about human drivers acting unpredictably. All the taxis can be aware of one another and plan a route that avoids other vehicles. It’s a much simpler problem when you don’t have humans in the loop.
