VW Manufacturing Plant in Dresdan, Germany - The transparent factory [View all]

I found this video pretty fascinating....it's amazing how a car factory for the 21st century can be built in an urban area, where the buyer can even help in building it if he chooses. The level of automation is mind boggling. While that has obviously impacted assembly jobs, there are a lot of jobs producing the technology to make such a factory viable.
