"I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing."
- Al Yankovic -
Even if you aren't a geek,
you might get a kick out of this YouTube video.
It's about making electric motors.
These motors go into Audi electric cars. They are built by an almost 100% automated process in a factory in Hungary.

Yes, there are robots,
but not the cute, humanoid kind.
I watched this video, almost 20 minutes long, with rapt interest throughout. This is probably because I have personally created and designed more than one manufacturing process and developed automated fabrication equipment. Your mileage may vary.
I found it interesting to observe the few operations that are performed by humans. Commenters under the video strongly suggest that a number of those operations could readily be automated, but that some government regulation requires a minimum percentage of human labor.
In only a single shift,
four hundred of these motor assemblies can be produced per day. The company expects to increase that number with time.
I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into a fascinating factory.
