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 require AM radio in all new vehicles, despite opposition from automakers who want to drop the technology as electric vehicles increasingly omit it. Supporters argue AM radio remains a vital channel for emergency alerts and local news, especially in rural areas. Automakers counter that mandates should not override evolving vehicle design and consumer preferences.
Why now: A legislative push to mandate a legacy technology in cars has drawn public resistance from the auto industry.
