Sounds like you've never changed a tire. Or at least not outside of a very controlled environment.

Are most cars not just undoing the lock, the bolts, switching the tire and redoing the bolts and locks?
How are these put on in the first place on an assembly line?

I wouldn't be so sure. I have been impressed by several things that seem to be complex but a way to be automated was found. Sure a no controlled environment is not conducive to automation, but who said a tow truck wouldn't be a part of the process? Washing a car has been automated with the precursor that the car is brought to the controlled environment first.
I have even replaced car tires before and yet still have this opinion.
