Very nerdy, fun to watch... Makes you appreciate the speed of robotic manipulators.

They can go much faster by the way... For example:

Another self-driving car video

Tesla web site now has a (yet another) video of a self-driving Model S. It is really fun to watch. Don't forget to keep an eye on the side frames, the magic displayed on those frames:

Tesla Model S Assembly Line

Most of the technology you see in this video is not new. However, it is still fun to watch. Highlights for me are (i) the seat installing robot and (ii) robot to employee ratio.
