I agree. Every car manufacturer has boldly announced in-wheel motors,
built a prototype, and then made an embarrassing retraction.
Sounds like a terrific idea, then they build one and learn for
themselves the insurmountable safety issues of highway driving
(uncommanded asymmetric torque, unacceptable unsprung weight, etc.),
then as quietly as possible they bury all the prototypes and pretend it
never happened.
I wish they would publish a book or report on the bad experience, but I
guess it is just too embarrassing.

Sigh, in-wheel motors, again, when will they learn.
