This is sort of the goal of Android Auto and CarPlay, but not as a mount for your phone. Rather, it turns the screen into a dumb terminal for your phone, bypassing all the shitty built-in software and providing a UX designed specifically for use while driving.

And critically lets you directly access CarPlay interfaces to apps for streaming, podcasts, navigation, etc, all of which is much richer than a dumb audio only passthru with skip buttons.
