Interesting. As one comment on the site points out, If the tire is flat to the road, then the neg camber won't help in cornering anyway.

So what is the advantage??

Well it looks neat! The problem I see; The inside of the tire will rotate faster than the outside of the tire. Law of physics. The smaller diameter side will have to rotate faster to keep up with the larger side. This may result in strange tire wear. I would like someone here to try them first and report back to us.
