Other than the takeoff and landing, cars have to deal with those obstacles as well.
A computer running a citywide automated traffic system for cars would have all the same complexity, without the ability to separate traffic in three dimensions.
So yeah, if you ignore the parts that make it more complicated it seems easier!
If it is windy, it is far more complicated than driving on the road, especially in cities with taller buildings. Like not crashing into buildings is far harder than applying the brakes when there is ever changing wind shear that you can’t see. This applies to most days in most cities.
