I can see the potential use of this - I’ve had more than one occasion where I’ve taken part in a conference call on my phone in a parking lot. I assume it would be locked while driving, like the games.

Probably a good thing, but also probably not huge. I've had to do Zoom conferences from the car using my laptop or phone - far from optimal. Not often, and I doubt most people would ever use it. But when I had to do it I would've liked the option to do it through the car's camera and screen. If I was in some job that had me on the road a alot - maybe sales? - this would probably be a bigger deal.

I don’t know why this is even a question. I mount my iPhone on the dashboard and have been doing Zoom calls for years. Definitely nice if it is integrated into the car. Although with the Tesla cabin cam you will not be centered in the frame, so when I have Zoom calls with my iPhone my video looks much better for the other participants.
