Joining a teams call from the car sounds miserable. Doubly so if there's traffic.
Mercedes‑Benz gleefully describes this as having “the potential to transform the vehicle into a third workspace, complementing the office and the home office.”

FFS work work work till you just die in traffic.
Hands-free calling is considered safe in most countries so I don't really see this as a problem.
The bigger problem is the capitalist hellscape where you're supposed to be on the road but also in meetings at the same time.
Crazy how corporate production facilities want you to prevent the operators from talking while they're working because talking and being distracted causes mistakes but distracted driving is totally chill.
Nice, now CEOs get to do mass lay offs on-the-go 😂
When will the capitalism cult die… has got to be more casualties than the two world wars combined at this point.
Car clash incoming.
No. My car is where I get in the headspace for work, or decompress once the workday is over. Listening to my music is a big part of that. If my boss wants to buy me a Mercedes, then maybe we can discuss expectations. Until then, anyone cheerleading this idea can fuck all the way off.
