    Mercedes also better support UBI so that these workers who will lose their jobs to automation don’t starve to death.

    I cannot conceive of a task where a humanoid robot would be better suited than just a robot built for the task without trying to mimic a human form.

      Minimal investment. A purpose-built robotic production line is incredibly expensive and can onl- do what it was designed for. Theoretically, using these robots requires no alterations to the existing facilities, allowing mercedes to trial them with very low risk and comparably low losses if things don’t work out.
