I don’t care, that’s still broken. The inertia from a sudden hard impact should not cause a non-impacted wheel to either move or even suddenly ‘steer’ for any reason.
Yes I totally get that these are extreme forces in question, but the parts and suspension system should be built stronger than that, where inertia alone won’t cause damage to non-impacted parts on the opposite end of the vehicle.
If you watched the whole video, he later dismisses it as the back wheels can turn as well, so they probably just folded in without them necessarily breaking
Now I’m no genius, but I am something of a mechanic, with experience in suspension systems amongst many other things.
I can assure you that there is absolutely no reason for a non-impacted wheel to ‘fold in’ like you said, I don’t care if it has rear wheel steering or not.
The goddamned things are built so much like shit that the fucking back wheels will break off from a front end crash…

Like, how the fuck does that even happen like that?
Worst. Vehicle. Ever.
Did you finish watching that video?
It has independent rear wheel steering.
That’s the rear wheels turning in, because they’re meant to pivot.

That shit’s just straight up broke yo.
