A win is a win regardless. VW won't be the last one. Of course these companies want to go to automation instead of doing the right thing and pay the workers their worth for slaving on the line to stuff more money in their pockets. They know automation will eliminate jobs, thus they keep their average 7.25 million salary per year which will grow even more if they don't have to pay line workers just the technicians that repair the automation.
