RV? Don’t see one. I think he needs a better camera.

 

[Yossarian]

This appears to be the first shift, and the dozens of empty bays with idle robots in them (seen about 4 mins in) are both puzzling and a bit concerning. The narrator finally comments at about 4:30 that "the robots must be at lunch."

What would be the reason for the lack of activity?

 

[BadKarma!]

I think his camera is high on drugs. What a mess.

Literally could be lunchtime. In many auto manufacturing plants, the line will stop for lunch. This also allows 30-60 minutes for maintenance to handle any small issues that presented themselves during the morning shift span or just to catch up parts of the line that may have backlogged a bit. Just because a plant is running 3 shifts a day doesn't mean the line isn't stopping a few times for various reasons (lunch, slowdown or issue downstream, equipment malfunction, etc)

Yeah, makes sense that if the humans are on lunch break that the robots would have to pause as well - otherwise the line starts to back up.

Break time? Robots still need human operators for the cells.

The light leaks are tre annoying

 

[Autolycus]

Appreciate the footage, but I'm really sad I was only able to get an R1S SUV and couldn't get the new RS1 RV.

 

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

What's with the weird motion blur and light leaks every few seconds? Was this shot with a potato? ‍

 

[Dark-Fx]

No, just an apple.

Trying to avoid Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory.
