I think your proposed complexity of car is now out of control for anything but a thought experiment.

I was reading tonight about Buckminster Fuller's 1930s “omni-medium, jet-propelled 4D transport” that he proposed. A car with inflatable collapsible wings that could travel by road, sea or air. Trouble is, to work, it required inventions that hadn't actually yet been made. And still haven't been.

I cannot see how any car of the like you are proposing could run on public roads with current technology and with anything approaching an economic return.

I think it is a really bad idea.
