He starts talking about it at 4:35 or so and mentions it just after 5:00. I think what they mean is they vary the speed of each wheel in a turn to help the turn, but maybe there is more to it.
Very interesting. I watched the Titan Engineering video on the 'transaxle' again and they show a central plate with two distinctly different sides and two through-holes, but they don't show it populated with gears. Maybe there is no mechanical connection. My Lexus MGR has a tiny little diff because the gear is on the rim rather than face.

Anyway, what's all over the Interweb today is the Sherp ATV
I've seen it four different places. It's basically four 5ft flotation tires with a 1.5 liter diesel and a 28mph top speed. I look at it and think of the Arcimoto battery box with a drivetrain at each end. Like a all-wheel drive Tesla.

I don't get how you can post a link to a Youtube video. I use the same url tag and vBulletin grabs it and makes it an embed. Anyway, it's a good video. I've watched 4 or 5 today.
