It was also used in the Koenigsegg Regera, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and S96GTB, Lamborghini Revuelto hybrid and the Lola-Drayson.[9] The company is investigating the potential for placing motors inside wheels, given that AFM's low mass does not excessively increase a vehicle's unsprung mass.[10] "

They’re investigating the potential for them to be placed inside wheels, but they aren’t at the moment, so my point stands.
The fact that you CAN put it in the wheel doesn't mean it MUST to go in the wheel.
