Yes there are plenty of good reason for AM based emergency radio, but the fixation on cars is pretty odd. Plenty of scenarios where the car is not accessible, so should radios also be mandated in peoples homes?

Here is a free one for you Elon: Throw a small usb-chargeable AM radio in the glove compartment and just move on.

Isn't their problem that the car is a noisy interference emitter? They'd have to fix the shielding issues to let the radio work while driving.

Well apparently they’ve already solved this since AM radio in cars has been a thing for like 90 years.

The issue is with inverter based EV drive systems.
