BMW has unveiled the new X5 in South Carolina—and the same factory is teaching humanoid robots to work alongside the people building BMW’s biggest SUVs.

I went inside BMW Plant Spartanburg, now known as the “Home of X,” to see how artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, American manufacturing and five different powertrains are shaping BMW’s future.

The new fifth-generation BMW X5 will eventually be offered with gasoline, plug-in hybrid, fully electric, diesel in markets outside the United States, and hydrogen fuel-cell power. The electric BMW iX5 will also become the first fully electric BMW assembled in America.

But the most fascinating workers inside the factory may be the humanoid robots developed by Figure. BMW is testing whether these AI-powered machines can handle awkward, repetitive and physically tiring jobs while human workers retain the judgment, skill and responsibility.

We also visit BMW’s new Woodruff battery operation and examine why South Carolina has become so important to BMW’s global manufacturing plans.

Are humanoid robots about to transform the way cars are built—and what could that mean for American factory workers?
