LOL....I've seen robots built that can take intricate pieces for contactor relays from a bowl feeder and weld them together and never miss a beat. Robots could be built and programmed to completely build an automobile.



Tesla uses some of the more advanced robotics systems in the automotive industry and they still have a ton of employees

Just read the new book on Musk.

They actually took a shitload of robots OUT of the assembly line at Fremont as it was actually faster to have humans do some of the jobs.

Some assembly jobs on a car are not conducive to automation.

Saying that, the typical assembly plant today has maybe 20% the number of employees as they did in the 70s for similar output.
