Scenes inside Hyundai's Singapore EV plant resemble that of some distant utopian future. Spot, the robot dog from Boston Dynamics walks around conducting quality checks, autonomous robotic arms meticulously screw bolts and install windshield wipers, and self-driving ground vehicles move components and EVs to different areas within the factory.
With so much autonomous hardware, human presence is unsurprisingly scarce. Sixty percent of the tasks are executed by robots, said one of our contributors who visited the plant in Singapore last month in an article on our sister channel Motor1.com. And only 100 workers are needed to produce 30,000 vehicles a year.
