Automated excerpt
U. S. automakers may be forced to build AM radio into new vehicles within the next year. The AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, which would direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require automakers to include AM radio in new passenger vehicles as standard equipment, will now head to the Senate. Ford had also removed AM radio from some vehicles but has since reversed course.
