BMW i3 Factory Production Tour
europeanautosource
A 41-minute factory tour showing how the BMW i3 electric car is built from start to finish, in the style of a Megafactories documentary. It shows a highly automated production line with carbon-fiber body construction and robots doing most of the work.
Cited as a vivid example of modern, highly automated manufacturing with few workers, and of carmakers as robotics companies.
