I think the idea here is that typical executive meetings ( which of course Mercedes owners would be) are monotonous and boring and it would not take more than 20% of your attention in any case.
Roughly same for movies as it has to be Hollywood franchise movies which even if one is watching first time, it still feels like seeing same thing thousand times before. And now concentrating on road looks more interesting than movie.
All Mercedes has to do is put `*` on Movies/Meetings and define them appropriately to be on firm legal grounds.

How often that happens is a question. Seemingly rare enough you could reliably do a meeting, that latter part is just a presumption though. No '*', Mercedes takes full responsibility and there are many seconds before it shifts control (and liability). The system can reliably predict when it will want to give back control.
