Mercedes-Benz Adds Microsoft Teams to Cars, Sparking Memes
Mercedes-Benz is putting Microsoft Teams, the app used for work meetings, into its cars.
This means people can join video calls while driving (or being driven).
The car will have a camera and speakers for the meetings.
However, the driver won't be able to see what's being shared on the screen while the car is moving, for safety.
People online are making jokes about this, since it could blur the line between work and personal life.
Some worry it could make people work even more, while others see it as a way to be more productive.
Other apps like Google Meet and Zoom may follow suit.

The new feature is designed to enhance in-car productivity, specifically for meetings.
