Mercedes says the Microsoft partnership turns your car into a "third workspace"
Horaaaaaay, question mark?
The people buying these aren't the workers being forced into meetings. They're the idiots who think meetings are the real work. So they can be in a meeting wherever they are without dragging out the laptop and pretend they're the ones making money before they have an expensive dinner while they're making the people who hate meetings work late.
Can't wait until a teams update ends up bricking the car's OS
Currently-new Teams just closes itself on me. It's a great feature for those urgent messages
I had that problem on new new teams but not on new teams. Old teams works better on the company intra-net.

Wait... Link please
The day I hear the teams ringtone coming from my car is the day I swerve into oncoming traffic
Bot R1‘I’m driving’ is no longer an excuse for not attending the meeting!
this very much sounds like it shouldn't be allowed
it still makes no sense to me that you can get in trouble for glancing at your phone (not actually using it), but new cars come with a whole bunch of distracting touch screen tech
Teams runs like shit, randomly crashes, and is sluggish. None of those things are what you want associated with your car.
So, do I upvoted the post cause it really is an onion headline, or do I downvote because vomit?

It comes with a free tooth brush and paste dispenser next to the mirror controls. What a great idea!
Dialing into the morning standup during commute:
Let's be real: this is so your boss (in his MB with his MB money) can micromanage you, even on the go!
This is a CLA, not an E or S Class. The base CLA costs about as much as the average new car sold in the US. This is like the first promotion, I'm going to buy a car car.
The average new car costs about half what I spent on my house just 6 years ago…
I don’t think you are arguing what you think you are arguing.
Now I'm just picturing random Benz's satnavs crashing all over the planet. All because Teams.exe decided it needed 100% of the CPU, at maximum priority, for the next 20 minutes. Because fuck you.
(I'm 999.9999999% sure that program is SkyNet/Genesis at this point. Because Microsoft doesn't need to mine fuckin' Bitcoin or anything stupid. So the fuck is it doing?)

Can't be forced to dial into teams meeting during commute when you ride an analog bike to work.

Who cares about MB, anyway?
First having your flagship EV tank because it looks like a shoe, using shitty touch controls on the steering wheel, wanting to release a rounded G-wagon and now this. Which idiot green lights these decisions? I miss Zetche…
Helpful for midlife crisis decisions: "I need it for work"
