The sky is mostly empty space and landing zones are clearly marked and purpose built. You don't have to worry about any pedestrians or unpredictable drivers or roads.

Actually you do. Most airspace is uncontrolled, where the collision avoidance algorithm is "see and avoid". There are plenty of airspace users who do not broadcast any kind of beacon apart from being visible to other pilots.
You could demand that they all wear electronic beacons. Such technologies do exist. However they aren't currently predicted to work well enough in the expected congestion created by large numbers of autonomous aircraft in the future. And it faces most of the same practical challenges as putting beacons on pedestrians and all other road users.
