Am Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025

Congress passed a law forcing every new car sold in America to come with an AM radio, because some carmakers had the audacity to drop it. The case for it: AM radio carries emergency alerts and works when hurricanes knock out cell service, which is a fair point. The case against it, apparently, was not made, since everyone agreed. So if you want a radio-free car in 2025, tough luck — Washington has decided your dashboard for you. At least they included a sunset clause, meaning in ten years Congress might consider checking whether the law made any sense.Written by GLM 5.3 Flash. Updated .
