Tesla drivers will soon be able to take a video call directly from their vehicle’s touchscreen dashboard, Zoom announced Tuesday. The video call provider announced on Tuesday during its annual Zoom\n \n topia conference, where it typically teases new features to support remote calls, that its software is coming to Tesla\n \n ’s built-in infotainment center. In a pre-recorded demo video shown at the event, a Tesla\n \n driver is seen taking a Zoom\n \n call while recharging her vehicle.
At the time, a Zoom spokesperson told pop culture website Mashable that adding support for video calls into its infotainment system would not be the safest use case because many people might attempt to use it while driving.
elonmusk when can we assume to get also MS Teams on board?
Right now it seems like they can hit the breaks! Maybe sort that out first, sure the recent incident in china is not a lone one
What could go wrong?🤦♀️🤯😱
How can that be legal?
Or send a Tweet.
Accident waiting to happen, whoever thought of this obviously doesn’t give a care in the world about other road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and wildlife on the road. I would like to quote Jim Morrison “keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.”
Sounds like a bad idea...
I thought using your phone or playing a movie while driving where illegal in some places? Japanese vehicle infotainment often includes tv and that too I thought was illegal while driving. Are laws changing or amendments being debated? curious
Only available while in park!
Might be the best proof there is that no one read any article ever.
But why, don’t drivers have enough distractions already
Cool sounds safe
Go home CNN you drunk. Stop fanboying Tesla like this
MULN MullenAutomotive
Hope you pullover and stop first
Sounds safe…

Cos it's not bad enough that the cars spontaneously combust, they should distract you while driving, too? Is Elon in his 'Some men just wanna watch the world burn' edgelord era?
Presuming they live to take it.
Not good! That’s like watching YouTube while driving; I do listen to it on media tho
Busyniess is tok busy for ü
What should Tesla add to their vehicles next?
States need to make this illegal FFS!
Can you use it to dial 911 to report your Tesla is on fire or self drove into a telephone pole?
Wow like we already don’t have enough car accidents and loved ones passing on the road Smdh
The minor car accidents alone. How is this legal. Please. Think about this. Don't buy into this. You don't want to be the one to cause that accident.
That worked well for that 53 year old truck driver shi just got banned and a suspended sentence for video calling with his Philippine girlfriend
Extremely dangerous. Should be against the law.
So, if you're in a crash. What are the chances of being electrocuted to death?
Sounds safe….🙄
While driving? Seems distracting and a bit reckless I may be WRONG?!!?
Great, I guess Twitter employees can work in their driveways now? Right Elon?
robert_kroupa No one wants to see their boss blow up in a Tesla in real time… wait…
For $8 per month?
More wrecks will be caused
Let me know when the Gloryhole makes an appearance and I'm in
We are still waiting for cars that can drive themselves safely. Isn’t that actually what musk promised years ago. Electric cars with video screens is not transformative technology
My volkswagen already has this functionality for years, and my Ford can do both with voice call or answer...
Can’t see what might go wrong with this 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏽♀️
And crash while they do?
Unless Tesla disables it while the car is moving, it will be more distracting than texting while driving and will cause many deaths.
That's very stupid. !! The accidents this is going to cause. !!
A video call while driving nothing could possibly go wrong there
'Oh sh*t, my wife is calling. Quick, duck down so she doesn't see you next to me.'
Remember when you couldn‘t take a call on your mobile phone while driving unless it was “hands free”. Video call on dashboard seems like a much safer alternative.
i know, i know, its supposed to drive itself, you can't make an omelet, unless you run over a few bikers.
Musk is suspending drs who inform people about medical abortions, saying they promote self harm. Teslas line his pockets don’t get one
Much more distractions and drivers will be passengers!
It's probably throwing troubles for every individuals by inventing this double trouble creating risky car
Don’t let Jeffrey Toobin or Lauren Boebert’s husband behind the wheel
Shouldn't they be watching the road maybe?
So the person on the other side of the screen can watch live when the Tesla bursts into flames? Cool.
Hope the AI works or we will see more crashes.
Uh oh. More accidents coming up.
Ya who gives AF about paying attention to driving right? Insurance companies gonna clown Tesla drivers take video calls while they drive then crash ✌️
Sounds safe.
That car could make my thanksgiving dinner AND do the dishes and I still would not buy it.
This sounds safe 🙄
I thought Elon was all about working from an office lol...
For the fire dept or a tow?
How is is good?
Bad idea.
Yes, so we have enough trouble with people texting and driving, NOW your friends and family can see your accident live!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s not a good idea … for safety reasons …
At this point I think he wants people to die
I remember MirrorLink that won’t show Google map as it classified the moving arrow as video watching which is unsafe😀
People should watch the road.
Fantastic! Another gizmo that will make people do shit behind the wheel they shouldn’t be doing!
What about the likelihood of accident(s)? Wow, t-e-c-h-n-o-l-o-g-y and human safety, more questions, less answers..
Wow, good that's advancement in technology
Accident waiting to happen.
As we don't have enough problem on the roads.
Why on earth would you want to take a zoom call from a car?
Ummm... It's ilegal?
People already use head pieces and phone holders in their cars when driving.
Turning a car into a living room. Genius.
Sounds safe! What could possibly go wrong!
Not a good idea..
More of this and less Twitter foolishness
Is this before or after they perfect auto pilot
Unless Tesla disables it while the car is moving, it will be more distracting than texting while driving and will cause many deaths.
Guess it won't be legal in the EU. Tesla's main screen is already a topic of traffic safety in Europe.
Isn't that illegal to be on a call when you're driving? It is here in the UK.
Good! Another reason to take your eyes off the road!
Great just what we need, more distracted drivers.
Sounds safe
What could go wrong?
Might they not be better to keep their eyes on the road?
See what Scotty Kilmer YouTube with his 2.2 billion views has to say about Tesla.
Progress?
For all the distracted driving Tesla drivers
Nothing says having an accident in traffic like a video call!🙄
That seems...kinda dangerous. Is that for driverless mode only?
nou en
Tesla
Well being on a zoom while driving certainly sounds exceptionally safe. I definitely feel better being on the road knowing Musk has made it possible for Tesla driving workaholics to attend their zooms while driving ! Brilliant
Dead on Arrival
Hello it’s Elon, I’m a Nazi.
Videos
Seems safe.
That won't be terribly dangerous
oh great - look at the screen and hope auto-drive is working...
Crash time
How stupid....more crashes
more tesla accidents ahead
What could possibly go wrong?
lol Sounds like a safe feature.
Like we need more reasons for distracted driving dangerous
cuz that's smart. holy shit.
Is that before or after your car's power steering fails?
Why nit spend money on actually making the car bits work better
Telsa is becoming iPhone of Cars.
That sounds safe
That's safe. 😏
Clearly, Elon has never commuted in rush hour traffic or during deer rutting season.
The guy who hates WFH making WFH tactics easier
Why aren't we encouraging people to work from home.... wouldn't that cut down on traffic more than a loop?
Way to go. Technology at it best
This seems like a horrible idea.
Sounds so safe
Here we go with the hate everything about Elon like we do Trump train.. Stop acting like you can't already do this from your phone in any car..
Sounds pretty dangerous
Not if Tesla doesn't exist anymore.
Best news of the week!
