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, overriding resistance from automakers who have been dropping the feature from electric models. Supporters argue AM radio remains a critical channel for emergency alerts and rural communities, while carmakers say it is outdated technology and that electric drivetrains interfere with AM signals. The debate is drawing attention from broadcasters and safety advocates.
Why now: Legislation mandating AM radio in new cars is advancing despite automaker opposition, touching on emergency broadcasting and EV design debates.
