Also, there is no way to actually measure this tight of a tolerance on large parts such as a car, since the standard methods for this tight of a tolerance measurement is... using a caliper, as using automated optical inspection for every dimension isn't really feasible.

We definitely have lasers that can measure this tolereance.

Yeah, as I said, automated optical inspection isn't feasible, it would be extremely cost prohibitive to set up laser fixtures for every dimension.
