The video shows how their gears go up down and side to side to perform the function of a cv joint. So whatever that cv looking thing is, it’s not a cv joint.
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.
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 replaces the cv joint. Watch the video.
There’s the CV-joint

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.

The motor could move with the wheel, but there goes that space they saved.
