Blue Angels With Wheels

I'm not sure what metaphor to use with this following video.  Synchronized driving?  Grounded Chinese Acrobats?

Anyway, this is from a Chinese car company, extolling the virtues and capabilities of their itty-bitty cars.  Kind of fascinating.



But it does leave some questions.

I know there are millions of Americans who have, presumably, lost their jobs to Chinese workers, following the shift in the world labor market.  But what's one to think about the robots building these little cars?  Did Chinese autoworkers lose their jobs to robots?

The Domino Theory of the '60s may be coming true, albeit updated.  The Chinese will take over the world.  The robots will dominate the Chinese.

And then, the aliens will come...
