I like the design. Not quite sure how they figure its going to reduce THAT much space as the video seems to show a single motor WITH controller and inverter being removed and four new motors replacing it, but nothing else. Isn't the ultimate version of this just in-wheel motors, as per Aptera's design? No CV joints, no transmission needed.
I guess it does distribute placement of components but in essence it seems to be a fancier version of a CV joint. Very cool, but I dont see the ground breaking revolution in drive systems.
