Hundreds of robots hum on a factory floor in Ningbo, just south of Shanghai, their long arms swooping and twisting, welding together different models of custom-ordered electric vehicles (EVs).
Robots also move briskly in the corridors delivering parts to different areas of the plant, playing elevator music to alert the few humans who work there to their presence.
This “dark factory” — where the lights don’t need to be on for the work to be completed, such is the extent of its automation — produces Zeekr vehicles, a luxury EV line owned by Geely, which is also the parent company of Volvo and Polestar.
On the one hand you have the CBC shilling for CCP EV’s like it was the Canadian edition of the China Daily pointing out they are almost untouched by human hands.
That unfortunately negates the parallel LPC narrative that our new CCP masters will build vast EV manufacturing plants in Canada employing many grateful Elbow People.
The story of this Great Elbow Forward forgets to mention that the EV supply chain in glorious China is rife with slave labour!
Just in … Mass robotaxi malfunction halts traffic in Chinese city
A mass robotaxi outage in the Chinese city of Wuhan caused at least a hundred self-driving cars to stop mid-traffic, sparking renewed debate around the safety of driverless vehicles.
Local police said initial findings suggested a “system malfunction” caused multiple vehicles to stop in the middle of the road on Tuesday.
Videos on social media have documented the outage, with one appearing to show it resulting in a highway collision, although police said no injuries had been reported and passengers exited their vehicles safely.
