Have you seen the tunnels on Google maps? They are essentially a tunnel from one side of a parking lot, under the main street, to the entrance of the convention center across the road. A distance you could walk in 5 mins on street level, except your way is blocked by the 6 lane road without pedestrian crossing.

So instead it could have been an overwalk?

No, not enough revolutionary hi tech BS to showcase your electric cars to the public, and no potential to get into talkshows to brag how you "solved traffic" because you are such a brilliant mind... /s

But people movers are fucken awsome, theyre like escalators but horizontal! Way more advanced and technically impressive than a shitty electric car.
