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, even as automakers push back against the requirement. Many carmakers have been dropping AM receivers from newer models as streaming and digital audio grow, and they argue the mandate adds unnecessary cost. Supporters say AM radio remains a critical channel for emergency alerts and weather warnings, especially in rural areas with weak cell coverage, making its preservation a public safety issue.
Why now: Automakers are increasingly removing AM radio from new vehicles, prompting a legislative fight over public safety access.
