This is something I'm really hoping will take off when electrified trucks become more common. With an electric truck you have an enormous amount of power ready to go for having something like a bed-mounted CNC in the back.
The next phase for something like this--to bring more utility--is to make a CNC with an automatic feeder and ejector. That way you could put a stack of 4x8ft plywood in one side and get finished parts out the other end. Presumably at the speed at which a worker can take the finished part, install it, and come back for the next one.
The first use I'd imagine for something like that would be custom crown molding, drywall with electrical and plumbing holes pre-cut, perfectly-sized shims and frames for anything and everything, turning regular floor boards into snap-lock flooring, shelving and cabinetry, and other housing materials that could be made on-site if it were not for the complexity/detail.
