Sounds like another work around for the crap hub motor design.
They must have figured out they can't piviot the wheels to steer the vehicle.
I admire their dedication to stupidity. Fix one idea that's never worked with another idea that's never been attempted.
I feel like these Aptera people are the kind of people who have never worked on a car before, heck they probably don't even know how to pop the hood on their own car.
