      From the article

      Hyundai also plans to use the robots alongside its human workforce. “We have engineered the production process to have a mix of automated processes led by our team members to ensure the highest quality vehicles are built in the safest and most ergonomic way possible,” a Hyundai spokesperson told

      When questioned about the cost of each Apollo robot, Burzer said that the company will pay less than $100,000 each for them. How much Hyundai will pay for Spot and Atlas is unknown.

      In addition to Hyundai Motor Group, Boston Dynamics has robots working for Gap Inc., InBev and POSCO, a South Korean steel manufacturer.

      Lol exactly why tariffs may bring manufacturing back to the States, but won’t translate to jobs for regular Americans

      And funny thing: Hyundai is a South Korean company; they own 80% of Boston Dynamics stock now. Most of their factories are NOT in the US.

      …….that should make everyone think about what the tariffs are REALLY trying to accomplish.

      Oh yeah? What are the humans gonna do for money? Good luck everyone. Our leaders are selling us to El Salvador and creating slave robots to do everything for them. They’re gonna genocide us poors

      Boston dynamics loi thousands of robots to make their bd purchase not seem like such a clusterfuck. Robots will be in the basement. Westwood style.
