It’s not flashy, but giving drivers a fallback for emergency alerts isn’t a bad tradeoff in a wireless world full of dead zones.

If you want AM radio, buy an old car—don’t force automakers to waste money on a feature most folks forgot existed.

AM radio in cars might feel retro, but when the grid drops, that old-school signal could be a lifeline.

AM radio in every car? It's 2025, not 1950—let's upgrade to emergency tech that doesn’t sound like a dial-up modem.
