It’s pretty smart. It is like a wheel-motor but without all the unsprung weight.

So in short, this adds suspension directly to the wheel, at the cost of higher maintenance? That’s it?

It’s not suspension. It compacts down the differential and cv joint (linkage from the engine to the wheel).

It compacts the whole drivetrain, from engine to the wheel. The space saving they were showing was mostly from the miniaturization and splitting of the motor.
