You must have missed the part about how a failure in a hub motor can
hurl the car into oncoming highway traffic.
Just one of the many pesky engineering "details" that must be ironed out.

Lots to like about this effort, and the video is easy to watch, and
provocative in good ways. Bill D mentions unsprung weight. If you aren't a
performance nut you can manage clunky handling. Most drivers can't discern
good handling from uninspired. People drive land yachts like Prius in large
numbers. Bet those 4 motors aren't heavier that 4 steel truck wheels.
The business plan is very interesting. I do see cars as a service as
attractive to many people. They propose rolling it all up fuel, service,
etc., into a regular payment. I like that. Of course H2 isn't ready for
prime time, but the business plan doesn't depend on the energy storage
method. I like the use of capacitors for acceleration and braking.
Many details are missing, but it is still neat to see, and its on the road
not a CAD dream.
