I wonder how they plan to build it to pass the safety and ecological

Crushability alone seems to rule out anything that could also fly.

Perhaps they are planning to license it only as an airplane, with any
roadway usage 'incidental to its primary purpose' and therefore no
license required as a car, thus none of the motor vehicle
requirements. If that sounds like BS, check your State's licensing
requirement for farm tractors and the like. (Plus lots of interesting
case-law with regard to seasonal roadway usage of combine thrashers,
cotton pickers, etc. [That is, they use trains or trucks to transport
them from north to south at the end of the growing season {wheat &
corn make the best examples} but travel south-to-north under their own
power, traveling only short distances, usually at night] .)
