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, pushing back against automakers who have been dropping the feature from electric models. Supporters argue AM radio remains a vital channel for emergency alerts and rural coverage, while carmakers say it is outdated, costly to integrate into EVs, and prone to interference. The debate has drawn attention from broadcasters and safety advocates.
Why now: Congress is weighing legislation that would override automakers' decisions to phase out AM radio, a clash drawing wide public interest.
