While most of the automation is done in the bodyshop and paint shop, what the video doesn't show is that there's an entire army of workers there too. Assembly of the car (interior trims, electronics ect...) are still done by humans.
So no, the system is not going to "strangle" itself.

This system is not sustainable, and yes I've been to many factories and have seen the world and the saying "may you live in interesting times" is actually a curse not just a saying. It's not being negative, it's realizing what's happening around you. Over 4 billion years of evolution has led us to where we are today and it has been massively speeding up (not just the pace of human culture/tech). Single cell for 3.5 billion, cambrian explosion 500 mill ago (thank you sex
), rise of dino's 250 mill, rise of mammals 65 mil, rise of hominids 10-15 mill, rise of man 150,000, rise of culture/society 10,000, industrial/tech revolution 150 yrs-present. Do we really think "life" has found it's sweet spot and evolution is done??? Not putting a qualifying judgement on things, but seems inevitable. One things for sure, this is going to be one hell of a ride
