Check out the parts delivery robots and how the driven train is bolted on. Amazing

Nice video, but the manufacturing technology is actually pretty standard. I work at GM Holden in Elizabeth and we have an autonomous robot system to deliver the seats, as well as automated powertrain to chassis marriage. Even the headlight aim is set robotically and the complete dashboard is installed by a robot through the windscreen aperture. In my opinion it's all basically the same thing but without the silly showing-off elements like the inductive floor and not quite as hospital-clean. If you're interested in modern vehicle manufacturing, Holden has just released a series of videos on youtube called Steel to Road, they're very good!
