Mercedes-Benz is redefining the commuter experience: the latest CLA allows drivers to participate in Microsoft Teams video calls using the in-car camera—legally and safely while moving—and includes integrated Microsoft 365 Copilot and Intune management, positioning the vehicle as an official “third workspace.”
Impact:
Mercedes and Microsoft extend the boundaries of vehicle functionality, transforming cars into productivity hubs. Here’s how:
On-the-Go Meetings Drivers can now join Teams video calls via the in-car camera during transit, with the screen automatically blacking out shared content for safety compliance. AI-Powered Ride Assistance Integration of Microsoft 365 Copilot lets drivers handle emails and prep for meetings using voice commands—without needing to touch a device. Corporate-Grade Security With Microsoft Intune built into Mercedes’ MB.OS platform, cars can be managed like corporate devices, supporting enrollment, policies, and remote wiping.
