how to do a self separating ATC system with robot planes is the thorny problem.
But once that is solved uber for robot planes will beat any ground bound system (except in really bad weather).

Perhaps if traffic conditions are very bad (e.g. stop-start driving with no regenerative braking) then the air option would be cheaper.
