Amazing that vehicles have become larger, heavier, more powerful, more fuel efficient, safer, and have many more electronic doodads, and they have come down in price over time.

I expect that trend to continue with more automation (despite JHS expertise on this subject).

I see no reason why a robot with at least as much dexterity, tactile feedback, precision, etc couldn't be manufactured. In my view, any assembly process that requires humans to manipulate materials is an engineering failure.
