I was told that at car factories like Honda and such, everything is completely automated - automated to the point where there are a total of 3, 5 people on duty there just to make sure the place doesn't burn down or anything like that (yeah, the number's probably exaggerated, but if you think back to the time of Henry Ford where assembly plants employed thousands, well, thats one of the consequences of industrialization).
