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 that new vehicles include AM radio, despite opposition from automakers who have been phasing it out as they shift to digital dashboards and electric vehicles. Supporters argue AM radio remains a vital channel for emergency alerts and rural coverage, while manufacturers say it is outdated technology and question the cost and safety implications of keeping it in modern cars.

Why now: Congress is weighing a mandate affecting the whole auto industry, pitting safety and emergency-broadcast concerns against automakers' costs
