Original: AM radio is disappearing from cars. Congress wants to stop that
US lawmakers are pushing legislation to require automakers to keep AM radio in new vehicles, as many electric car manufacturers drop the feature because electric motors cause interference with AM signals. Supporters, including broadcasters and emergency officials, argue AM radio remains a vital channel for emergency alerts, especially in rural areas, and are urging Congress to mandate its retention in all new cars.
Why now: Automakers removing AM radio from new electric vehicles has prompted a bipartisan legislative response, drawing broad coverage.
