Congress doesn't agree on much. Except that your car needs AM radio. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Americans debate Iran and artificial intelligence, lawmakers have found common ground on what is apparently a more pressing issue: requiring AM radios in cars.

The rule would go into effect for large manufacturers no more than two years after the rule is issued. As Jacob Stern has note
