I was just learning about CVJ gearing the other day and was thinking cars should use it instead of fixed gear ratios. Very cool.

I don't get what this does or what's the benefit. There's still a cv-joint there. Otherwise the wheels can't turn
It's a bit overcomplicated wheel reductor hub, used in some trucks and widespread in heavy equipement, but the input shaft can move a bit. And the artictle doesn't mention anything about oil in it or how it is sealed.

Anyone remember the Hyundai debacle where the transmission gears stripped mid-drive? Yeah..... I'm not trusting their gear-making ability (or lack thereof) with precision gears inside all of my wheels. Pass.

There needs to be more music in the background, and the narrator needs to speak with more enthusiasm about more needless details of how smaller makes it possible to use the space for something else. /s
The concept is cool though.
Seems like this adds more than a bit to the unsprung weight of the wheel.
I know Hyundai is Korean and all, but this presentation style where the host pretends to be demonstrating a product "uh, wait a second . . . what if we" and is speaking almost like it's a personal conversation between the two of you is giving me huge Nintendo Direct vibes when they demonstrate unreleased games and play them for you.
Is this a common sort of business/sales presentation method in SEA?
