IF they work (and that is a massive, massive if), every factory on earth will replace every human with them.

It’s inevitable, the only question is how many years until it happens: 2, 5, 10, 50?

Place your bets!

Do think factories are still mostly humans on assembly lines?

Not mostly, no.

But I toured an auto assembly plant of a major US OEM recently and there were a ton of humans on the line.

Unions will be an issue, but all the OEMs are walking dead anyway.

Tour Toyota. It’s be lights-out except for all the people there on tours to see the mechanical marvels.

Factory robots have almost nothing in common with humanoid robots and are probably at least 10000x simpler.

That’s the point!
