2D + depth. We can tell how far away the car in front of us is, but it occludes our view of cars in front of it. That’s good enough to drive, but suboptimal. If you were designing a user interface meant to show someone the positions of cars on roads – i.e. a map – you would use a bird’s-eye view, since roads are mostly 2D from that perspective.
