Every company is trying to lower cost and increase profits. This means they have to adapt to advance technologies such as AI. If they don't, competition will win, while they get left behind, eventually going bankrupt. History is about to repeat itself. Look what had happened to manufacturing in USA. Most of it left USA because competition was able to build faster, high quality, low cost, grow in revenue and increase profits. Do you think Apple would have been a 3 Trillion dollar company if it manufactures all it's products in USA under union employees?

Would be wiser to use AI as a sampling but seems some businesses are going headfirst and all in. If all businesses looked at what GM has learned, they could glean the facts that a vehicle that tested perfect can still be recalled later. Same with AI.
AI is no more than recycled data injected by one generation. It is set to fell by making mistakes that were already tried in history but were not recorded as there was no internet then. Basically, it is a self-contained merry-go-round. It is not complete but has storage use.

Except the people that actually do engineering work on a daily basis know most of this stuff will never fully work. New tech will replace some testing but you will never truly know what you're going to get without physical prototypes and proper r /d. It will take 5to 10 years before the company will correct any mistakes. Pre production is already gutted. The customer is now the beta tester, thank elmo for that one.
That's what Tesla does today.
The future is likely the factory selling cars directly from the factory and not from price ja--ing and unscrupulous sales pitches from dealerships that the customer hates. The dealership chores could be reduced to vehicle repairs only in each local town. Finally reasonable, fair purchase prices and great increases in quantity sold. Keep profits in house . UAW and company stand to benefit.
AI is not going to replace auto assemblers.
Also, real AI hasn’t been achieved regardless of what you are hearing.
All they have is a complex series of algorithms that scrape the internet.
There’s no thinking, self-realized artificial intelligence yet. Even if there was, big leap to marrying it with robots. When that happens… we are all screwed.
Wow, AI is the future. Great insight, dork. What’s next? Going to tell us water is wet?
Workers in China, India, and Mexico have always been cheaper.
Cost of living is cheaper in Third World countries, and so are wages.
This isn't a new thing that started when workers asked for a raise.
Right. With that in mind, how will automakers who are struggling to compete answer calls for 32 hour work weeks, bankruptcy-causing pensions and a 40% raise? Layoffs. Plant closures. New plants in Mexico.
This isn't rocket science.
The shoe on the other foot: office workers who won't show up even when threatened. How do you see that ending? Cupcakes and pizza?
