They also quote "For safety, stability and/or economy, positive use can
be made of aerodynamic forces/moments (lift,
download, side force, yaw, roll) which are not
currently employed in Heavy Vehicle operation, and
drag control can be used for braking as well as fuel
efficiency."

While only a proof of concept it is still interesting.
