Re: The in-wheel swerve shifter!

Funny story, I was just looking into this. They seem really cool, but I'm worried about it shifting when the motors slow down due to the uncontrolled autoshifting on weird turns. I also am not sure what drives the shift. Love those bicycle gear hubs though.
You can see shifting at just past 2:01.

I don't really see a simple way to shift these without limiting the rotation of each wheel, though.
