YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ford’s CEO says China’s EV industry poses an existential threat to global automakers. The country’s dark factories, which have robots run 24/7 with limited human interaction, aim to further widen the gap between Chinese car manufacturers and everyone else. As China grapples with overproduction and Trump’s trade war with Beijing continues, one big question remains: who will buy all these vehicles? WSJ visited Zeekr, a Chinese luxury EV-maker, to learn about China’s hyper-automation.
