House Passes AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, Mandating Inclusion in New Cars

House Passes AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, Mandating Inclusion in New Cars

The House of Representatives has passed the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, a bipartisan piece of legislation cosponsored by Congressman Chris Pappas. This act aims to ensure that all new vehicles sold in the United States continue to include AM radio as standard equipment. The legislation mandates that the Department of Transportation will issue a rule requiring automakers to integrate AM radio into their vehicles without additional cost to consumers. This move comes in response to some manufacturers discontinuing AM radio in new models. Over 50 million Americans regularly listen to AM broadcast radio, which is highlighted as a crucial communication tool, especially during emergencies. Its ability to travel long distances and cover broad geographic areas makes it a reliable source of information when other communication networks, such as cellular and internet services, fail.
