It also (conveniently) ignores that a wheel's camber changes when it moves up and down, due to suspension geometry. It's certainly an interesting idea for sure, and any efficiency improvements here could help ICE vehicles as well. There's likely a reason these are just renders in a video though.

Hopefully they are able to work out these details, and eventually provide a real physical demonstration of these use-cases.
