I only skimmed it, but I didn't see the real design of how it worked, or the math behind it... yes, I see a video with streamers, but I don't see an air speed indicator and a vehicle speed indicator side by side.
What I do see is prop that drives the wheels, but what drives that prop when you get to 40mph with a 40mph wind? same thing with aerodynamics, if you have a tail wind like that the driver is going to feel no wind on their face so the vehicle could be shaped like a brick and should still work fine!
