I haven't watched the video, but it's odd that it pops up now.
Only yesterday talking of motor industry futures we were thinking about how the wheel will complete yet another revolution and we are possibly about to see a resurgence of 'the coachbuilder'
The suggestion is that electric platforms will become widely available, and an industry will emerge, producing short run bodies to mount on these, in much the way HJ Mulliner / Park Ward and their ilk used to custom build on Rolls/Bentley chassis in the thirties.
The only glitch would be approvals, and how these would be applied. You can hardly crash test an example of each body style.
