"or some apparently trivial decision needs to be made"
There be dragons. Those apparently trivial decisions, even if they are truly trivial for humans, can be Ph.D. subjects, or worse, to have them done by robots.
For example, suppose a batch of wrongly colored parts enters the system. A dumb robotic system probably would happily build red cars with yellow left front doors forever.
