Automotive manufacturing is quietly undergoing its most profound reinvention since the assembly line—and in this episode of FOBtv, Kevin Benedict sits down with John Dougherty, Head of Manufacturing for the Americas at ServiceNow, to unpack what’s really changing beneath the hood. From software-defined vehicles and AI-driven operations to smart factories, digital twins, advanced robotics, and re-engineered global supply chains, this conversation goes beyond buzzwords to reveal how modern factories actually function day-to-day—and where they’re headed next. Together, they paint a vivid, ground-level picture of what it will feel like to walk through an automotive plant in 2035, when data, machines, and humans operate as a single intelligent system.
