On top of this, they want those things zooming around shop floors? this think will flip over on the fist pebble. I want to see them run in winter with salt all over the place. Its a liability waiting to happen.

Until they have anti gravity bots flying around I can't see this sort of thing taking off.
Really ??? So you priced these devices?

I think you are stuck in the 60's "dude"

I see as a positive. Audi has master mechanics with the latest resources in a central location. They know the latest and greatest and can pass on the knowledge base to the tech out in the field when needed. They can also notify the production side about mechanical abnormalities.

I doubt that the robot is going to be zooming anywhere. It's brought over to the vehicle in question. Add a wireless hand held camera with LED lighting to show areas not accessible to the floor unit.
