Democratic Senator Edward Markey, one of the sponsors of the bill, said at least eight automakers have removed AM broadcast radio from their electric vehicles including Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) BMW, Ford and Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p).

Lawmakers say losing AM radio undermines a federal system for delivering key public safety information to the public.
