Of course the world might use grav for personal vehicles simply because it can (air/rafts are cooler than ground cars), and lack the infrastructure for ground vehicles. The decision which might be logical for the group (to build roads for ground vehicles) might not be logical for the individual (to become the first to start a ground vehicle infrastructure).
This reminds me of an early L. Neil Smith book (when he still wrote readable books). In the alternate Earth the only roads were in towns and cities because most of the vehicles had a hovercraft option.
So all the Interstate equivalents were simply graded and grass-planted quarter-pipes that could be flown along at a couple hundred MPH.
That would be even more so in a culture that has had affordable contragrav vehicles for a generation.
