Will dashboard AM radio be saved? Bipartisan bill would require automakers to keep it in new cars

Lawmakers in Congress introduced the "AM for Every Vehicle Act," which would require automakers to keep AM radio in new cars at no additional cost, citing public safety concerns.
More automakers are dropping broadcast AM radio due to interference from electric motors, but supporters of preserving AM radio argue that it is irreplaceable in emergency situations where drivers may not have internet access.
The Federal Communications Commission and National Association of Broadcasters praised the legislation, while the Alliance for Automotive Innovation called the mandate unnecessary and pointed to FEMA's Integrated Public Alerts and Warning System as a suitable alternative.
