    If it was just a solid axle going from the motor to the uniwheel you couldn’t steer the car. It doesn’t allow for such movement.

      Looks like it eliminates the engine-side cvd but not the wheel-side.

        Can’t really do that, u-joints and cv’s work in pairs to balance the angular change

      The motor could turn with the wheel. You could have a wheel-motor without the excessive unsprung weight of the motor components.
