TL;DR

Lawmakers are pushing for legislation that would require automakers to keep AM radios as a standard feature in vehicles, after companies like Ford and Tesla announced some of their new models will no longer include AM receivers. Supporters of the bill argue that AM radio is crucial during a disaster for news, talk shows, sports, and emergency communications, and that it cannot be replaced by podcasts or web streams. The National Association of Broadcasters also supports the bill, saying that AM radio is unique in its presence in local communities and focus on news and information.
