The robots don't care where they are. OTOH, look where the car makers

Mexico has some.

The robots may not care where they live but it still needs a large,
mainly unskilled or semi-skilled workforce to feed them and to perform
all the other tasks that currently cannot be assigned to robots.

You need a smaller but very skilled workforce to maintain and repair the
robots.

That's the UK out then.

Not a problem. Once out of the EU, you just issue work permits to the
Germans needed. When a robot breaks down, shouldn't take more than a
couple of months to get the paperwork needed, and a few days to get
through the border checks.
