AI and robotics push car plants toward fully automated 'dark' factories
Original: Fast-improving AI, robotics could make 'dark' auto factories a reality
Automakers are moving closer to so-called dark factories — plants that run entirely by machines without human workers or even lighting — as artificial intelligence and robotics improve rapidly. The idea is drawing attention in the auto industry, where manufacturers face pressure to cut costs and speed up production, while raising questions about the future of manufacturing jobs.
Why now: Rapid advances in AI and robotics are renewing debate over fully automated car manufacturing and its impact on workers.
