I also notice that unsprung weight was not mentioned. The "Uniwheel" clearly has advantages over CV joints, but it also looks like a significant increase in unsprung weight.

They also gloss over "splitting the motor". It looks like 4 individual wheel motors, which would indeed be optimal for the torque vectoring that they mention.

Still, looks like a very cool development. I hope it works out to be a real advance



It is a compromise - maybe slightly more unsprung weight vs a CV joint, but less than a hub motor.
