A popular bill will force car companies to put AM radios in vehicles at no extra charge, despite decreasing interest from drivers and potential electromagnetic interference.
The idea is that AM is more rugged, it’ll be up when other more common forms of emergency communication is down. Internet and TV are both fragile, relatively speaking. FM covers less range. So yeah, while few people use it actively, when a true crisis hits, it’s nice to have a stable fallback. ;)
For the 1% of people who look to AM for emergency information. ;)
