Clashes Cloud Shawn Fain’s Re-election Bid at U.A.W. Original
Shawn Fain, the United Automobile Workers president, embarked on a re-election bid this year with much to brag about.

Robots that walk and talk are coming to car factories
SPARTANBURG: At a BMW factory in South Carolina, a human-shaped robot with a screen for a face recently stepped from a charging station toward a stack of green plastic boxes. It grasped an auto part from one of the boxes, pivoted, placed the part in a trolley, then pulled the trolley across the floor. The robot’s slow, stiff movements suggested a worker with a bad hangover rather than a technological revolution.
Robots que hablan y caminan llegarán a las fábricas de automóviles
En una fábrica de BMW en Carolina del Sur, un robot con forma humana y una pantalla en lugar de rostro salió recientemente de una estación de carga y se dirigió a una pila de cajas de plástico verde.

Los movimientos lentos y rígidos del robot sugerían más bien a un trabajador con una fuerte resaca que a una revolución tecnológica.

The German Auto Industry, a Pillar of the National Psyche, Is Trembling
The centerpiece of Mercedes-Benz’s 140th birthday party in January was a patent application filed in 1886 by an engineer named Carl Benz for a “vehicle with gas engine.” The way Mercedes executives spoke of the handwritten document, which at one point was projected on a large wall on the company campus in Stuttgart, Germany, it might have been a sacred parchment.
