Seeing this, and knowing that Toyota has clearly invested time and effort to study this... you have to ask yourself "are they going to us it more, or less?"
MS Hololens and the AR glasses that could see a boost in productivity. (I didn't make it through the pay wall.)

Inspection of paint thickness
The eye-catching finish of a new car does not come easy. At Toyota, the coating film thickness of every vehicle goes through a strict inspection process to ensure it is uniform and evenly distributed. Until now, that had been a laborious task. Custom-made papers — with holes at regular intervals — had to be cut and carefully applied onto a car’s curved surface. The holes served as guides for workers with measuring equipment, who scan the whole vehicle.
The process was tedious. A single inspection would take two people an entire day to complete.
Now with HoloLens, one person can do in just two hours.
Kayano’s have designed an app that enables them to skip the
cut and paste process. Using HoloLens, a digital array of dots is
projected directly onto a real car. Workers with HoloLens headset scan
and inspect a car’s painted surface quickly and easily. This increases
their productivity and frees up their time to do more meaningful tasks.
