> But will they be making car parts? Almost certainly.

What can humanoid robots making car parts do, that the already-existing and already widely deployed robots making car parts can't?



Without knowing the specifics, that would be whichever things prevented Tesla from being run as a lights-out factory already.


Re-tool an entire factory overnight in response to a change in design of the car, or in fact to produce airplanes instead


I don’t think you understand how hard it is to retool and rearrange a factory.


I’m saying if you have a collection of humanoids and general purpose tooling, you can adapt much faster.

I don’t literally mean retool a conventional production line in one night


So basically just robots with tools? It might work.
