Lawmakers push to require AM radio in new cars

Original: Lawmakers look to require AM radio in new cars despite automakers' pushback

US lawmakers are moving to mandate AM radio in all new vehicles, even as automakers argue the technology is outdated and resist the requirement. Supporters say AM radio remains a vital channel for emergency alerts and rural coverage that streaming and FM cannot fully replace, setting up a clash between safety advocates and car manufacturers.

Why now: A pending legislative mandate that carmakers oppose is drawing attention to debates over emergency broadcasting and automotive technology.
