> the company will develop in-wheel electric motors, which would eliminate the need for a single large engine.

A 'single large engine' is only needed in ICE cars, electric vehicles have a 'small' motor, and can easily have multiple motors. It's already being done by Tesla and Rimac.

To my knowledge, an 'in wheel' motor would not be desirable due to unsprung mass, so a motor on the chassis connected to the wheel with an axle probably what they mean. Having 4 individual motors would be a first (I think) for a production car, it would allow for some very impressive traction control

This is a concept and the article mentions that many of the technologies do not yet exist.

Tesla's competitors are so great at making electric cars...in theory.

They are losing less money though...in practice. ;)

What's with all the auto-playing videos these days? I don't even know how to turn this video off....

There should be an add-on that just basically stops one from even opening a website with this kind of practice.

I left as soon as the video started playing.
