Cars are made in smaller volumes than most people imagine.
Compare to toilet paper production... Your family perhaps consumes 100 rolls of toilet paper per year, and perhaps 0.1 cars per year (typical lifetime of a car is ~20 years).
So there is 1000x the benefit to any time saving by automation on the toilet paper production line than on the car production line.
