X users react with memes as Mercedes-Benz adds Microsoft Teams to cars.

Overview

  • The integration lets drivers use the car’s built-in camera to participate in live Teams meetings while the vehicle is in motion.
  • To avoid distraction, shared screen content and participant video feeds are disabled the moment the in-car camera is activated.
  • Mercedes-Benz will debut the capability with its MB.OS-powered fourth-generation MBUX system in the all-new CLA model.
  • Users on X and Team BHP have ridiculed the idea as unnecessary or unsafe, joking it seems designed for stop-and-go traffic in cities like Bengaluru.
  • The automaker will also be the first to integrate Microsoft Intune natively and is developing support for Microsoft 365 Copilot in its vehicles.
