Default Re: Could this tech offer hope to a dead Aussie car manufacturing sector?

There are several auto factories in the UK.
They simply form part of an integrated European system.
(Brexit may chance that, have to wait and see.)

The fundamental problem with your idea, is that other manufacturing fled Australia long before the auto-makers.
Also, whilst it's huge decision to close down an existing factory, the decision on where to build a new one is not.

And the really scary problem, is that we are rapidly losing the expertise necessary. Back in the 60's & 70's, Australian Universities were considered world leaders in the new field of Electronic Engineering. The best and the brightest came from all over the world to study and do research.
Now most Uni's nolonger even offer the degree.

Without an industry, there are no jobs.
Without jobs, there are no graduates.
Without graduates, there are no schools.
