    My guess is they will only put this on rear-wheel-drive cars. The system doesn’t look like it can rotate at all on that horizontal plane and moving the entire motor (that is sticking out of the back of the wheel) is basically a non-starter.

    Edit, it may be possible to add another gear-set to enable rotation on the horizontal plane. But at that point I’m starting to wonder if the entire system is getting too complicated.

      Like a CV joint? They kinda made a point in how great it was to get rid of the CV joint only to need to put it back in to get steering.
