Lawmakers push to mandate AM radio in new cars
Original: Lawmakers look to require AM radio in new cars despite automakers' pushback
US lawmakers are moving to require AM radio to be included in new vehicles, even as automakers push back, arguing many models have dropped the technology in favour of internet streaming. Supporters of the mandate cite AM radio's role in emergency alerts, especially in rural areas where mobile coverage is unreliable, and its value for local news and sports broadcasting.
Why now: Congress is weighing a mandate that would force automakers to reverse a trend of removing AM radio from new vehicles, sparking a policy fight over safety and technology.
