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US lawmakers are moving to mandate AM radio in newly sold vehicles, despite automakers arguing the feature is outdated as they shift to digital entertainment systems. Supporters say AM radio remains a vital channel for emergency alerts, especially in rural areas, while manufacturers contend removing it saves cost and reduces interference with electric vehicle electronics. The debate has turned into a rare clash between Congress and the auto industry over in-car technology.

Why now: Legislation requiring AM radio in new cars is advancing, prompting automakers to lobby against it.
