(NHTSA) issued a rule “requiring automakers to keep AM broadcast radios in their vehicles without separate or additional fees, charges, or surcharges.”
Supporters said they pushed for the bill out of concern that the slow death of AM radio would make it more difficult to broadcast emergency information during natural disasters or other related events.
It is understood that in recent years, more and more models have begun not to be equipped with AM radio functions, including popular electric vehicles such as Tesla and Polestar.
Car companies believe that AM radios are not compatible with electric vehicles because the power system will produce electromagnetic interference, so they use Internet radios instead.
However, unlike AM broadcast signal sources, which have long propagation distances and large coverage areas, Internet radio relies on network signals. If it is in a remote area, car owners may not be able to obtain the latest emergency information.
