A controversial bill that would require all new cars to be fitted with AM radios looks set to become a law in the near future. Yesterday, Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass) revealed that the “AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act” now has the support of 60 US Senators, as well as 246 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, making its passage an almost sure thing. Should that happen, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would be required to ensure that all new cars sold in the US had AM radios at no extra cost.

    I actually agree with this. Radios can be essential, it should also be illegal to block radios on cell phones.

      As I recall, at least in the US, intentionally creating active interference, like with a jammer, is. Passive stuff, though, like walls that block transmission, is not.
