The Alliance for Automotive Innovation sent a letter to the Senate Commerce Committee on Sunday arguing that proposed legislation mandating AM receivers in all new vehicles inhibits dashboard modernization. The letter claims that streaming integration and emergency alert apps provide sufficient redundancy for safety warnings. In a swift rebuttal, the NAB described the letter as a “dangerous attempt to sideline the nation’s most reliable emergency infrastructure” and urged lawmakers to move forward with the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act.
In total agreement. For all the right reasons as outlined in this article, AM must remain in all new and future vehicles.
