Hub motors have been around for a long time, strength, power torque aren't the problem it's high speed durability and their weight in real world conditions.
I remember the pre-volt days, it seemed like every major manufacturer wanted to be the first to bring a hub motor electric car to market, the US army was working on a hybrid hub motor hmmwv. The same thing killed all of them, the hub motors only lasting 10,000 miles or so in real world conditions.
Do I have faith that apthara solved a problem that GM, darpa, the US army and a few other too big to fail companies couldn't solve?
Eh, I'm suspiciously optimistic.

Doesn't appear to be real world. We already know a 4 wheel vehicle can go round a race track on hub motors, going back to about 2008. We also know a traditional cool EV like a tesla sport will mop the track with a hub motor car.
It's looking like the hub motors will be another "we don't need an anti sway bar" moment, but it won't be immediately obvious.

I saw they had what appears to be hours the test had been running continuously.
Lets compare. My leaf has been on the road for about 11 years, has nearly 100,000 miles at 34mph average speed, that comes out to 2,800 hours and we know the leaf will go for at least double that, as long as you change the battery 2 or 3 times.
Some of the "tests" show the "speed", 40kph, lol. :facepalm:
The leaf can take a 2 inch deep pot hole at 130kph and has been for 11 years.
Magic eight ball says "outlook not good".
