“If you run a production line fully automated from the start, you need highly complex systems that cost a lot of money and often stand still. (…) Such production would remain at the same level of development forever. Robots do not improve processes. Only humans can improve processes. That’s why they should always be at the center.”

– Mitsuru Kawai, Executive Vice President of Toyota Motor Corporation, in “Artificial Intelligence – Toyota fires the robots”, in the daily mirror of 04.01.2019
