Have you ever been in a modern German car factory? Nowadays there are huge buildings, spotlessly clean with tons of robots assembling cars.

Occasionally you see someone sitting around reading the newspaper and drinking coffee, ready to jump into action should something go wrong. The times where the industry consisted of huge factories filled with blue collar workers assembling cars by hand is long over.

The industry has two years to focus on other markets to export to. There might be some impact but it won't be catastrophic or lead to massive job loss.
