It's started: workers' strikes against robots

The article discusses the increasing integration of humanoid robots into automotive manufacturing, where they are being tested to perform repetitive, physically demanding tasks currently done by humans. While some companies like BMW and Mercedes-Benz see potential for these robots to become significant parts of production in the future, others argue that simpler robotic systems might offer more cost-effective solutions. Meanwhile, concerns over job displacement have led to strikes by workers at Hyundai, who fear automation could lead to widespread unemployment. Companies like Tesla are developing advanced humanoid robots such as Optimus, which Elon Musk claims could eventually outnumber humans in certain industries.
