By the year 2037, Toyota has a virtual monopoly on the North American automobile market. This is only possible due to the outstanding quality of their products and the low cost of manufacture. * Cars and other transport devices are built by largely robot factories. Not quite 'lights-out' manufacture in the 2010 sense; the robots will have excellent vision even into the far reaches of infrared. * In these numerous 'factories' 90% of the human employees are involved in quality control of one kind or another. There are numerous new specialities in quality control; far more than we would counternance today. Being one of the few jobs not based in the person's home; the human employee will live her workday almost like a traditional 20th century workplace.
