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 that new vehicles include AM radio, over the objections of automakers who have been dropping the feature from electric models. Supporters argue AM radio remains a vital channel for emergency alerts, especially in rural areas, while manufacturers say it is outdated technology that interferes with electric drivetrains and adds cost.

Why now: Legislation mandating AM radio in new cars is advancing despite industry opposition, sparking debate over emergency broadcasting versus automotive innovation.
