Then and now: Split-screen video shows how car production has changed in 50 years


A new video released by SEAT's Martorell factory near Barcelona, Spain, gives a fascinating look at the evolution of car manufacturing over the past 50 years. As the split-screen video shows, jobs that used to be done by hand are now streamlined, with most of the heavy-lifting left to a team of 2,000 robots. The video was released to commemorate SEAT's next leap forward in auto manufacturing, as the plant begins production on electric vehicles.
