An ice could use this but there is no real purpose. The whole goal was to make the electric motor smaller and closure to each wheel so there is more room for other things.

Yeah fair, though ICE cars also benefit from more space. Maybe I’m just salty because I had to watch 10 minutes of their video just for a clip that was about 1s long that actually shows what it is instantly, they should have lead with that…

You probably don't want to use a small ICE at each wheel though.

An ICE still needs all the shafts connecting the wheel to the engine.
