You plug your phone in (or even connect wirelessly now) and your car hands over the screen (or some portion of it) to your phone.
Your phone is sending an audio and video feed to that screen, and the car will send touch inputs (and some other data) back to the phone.
This has been a thing for a long while now, and a really neat thing is that my folk's 2017 Bolt has infotainment from 2023 when I plug my phone into it.
It's a fantastic idea, and dropping it is bonkers and/or nefarious.
