    They didn’t seem to mention turning the wheel and also claim better ride quality, but what about unsprung weight?

      In the video at roughly 4:20 they seem to be using single CV joint at the front to handle turning. Seems kinda constrained, but what do I know.

      but what about unsprung weight?

      Could be worse. Did you see all the in-wheel concepts Hyundai were show casing last year? I wouldn’t take this any more serious than all the ridiculous concept cars makers like to showcase. Still this might find some uses in niche cases, tiny city/kei cars, but probably won’t see usage in regular cars anytime soon or ever.
