on car adverts (i.e. Audi R8, and Beemer)...
What do they actually do, I wouldn't have thought it's cutting metal bits as the cars look pretty much assembled by that stage

Not cutting no, only if it's a Bond film.
I should imagine it is for alignment and detection purposes, like Haimsey mentioned.

Lasers for cutting work in very close proximity to the metalwork, i.e. maybe 1-10mm

Maybe it's scanning the bodywork or paint for irregularities? Or maybe its to dramaticise the ad like Hammer says.
