From the video, it is much worse than that. No AM/FM radio at all, not even Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, just curated content selected for you by the corporate-controlled platform and its algorithms, depending on how much you are willing to pay.
Our first radio-in-car, with our 81 Civic, was when the kids in the back seat brought along a little AM radio, turned it on and up pretty loud, as we were driving out through our apartment complex. It's was playing that notorious stripper theme song...
So called "modern" entertainment systems in cars are a mess these days... It has more to do with selling stuff than being useful.
I didn't watch the video either; but it sounds like they're taking a page out of the airline industry. You need to bring your own devices, if your in a newer plane - there are no screens or earbud connections.
If you watch the video, you will see that they will still provide screens and audio. But they will control what content is available.
Only if your cell phone is linked to it and your phone is setup to notify you of travel delays in your app. There's always one of these: https://www.newegg.com/p/0PD-00XX-002D9
I wouldn't put it past the OEMs to try this but broadcast radio, even AM-JAM is still a 'thing' and I'm pretty sure that the FCC will not go quietly into that good night, Still..... We were butt-raped in the early 2000s by digital TV. This was done with the Digital Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 following the time honoured tradition of naming a law for the opposite effect that it has on the nation. (Think: Affordable Care Act, Inflation Reduction Act, Gun Control Act.....) Big Broadcast is still LEGALLY required to broadcast but the now 10-year-old ATSC 1.0 standard practically forced many people to abandon over the air reception.....and if you think THAT's bad.......juuuuuuust wait until you find out what's ahead with ATSC 3.0..... Motorola put the first radios into cars in the 1930's - which is sorta WHY they named the company MOTOR (car) OLA (Victrola.) Some BEVs have eliminated AM radios from their cars - which is both ironic (FM is ALSO range limited) and yet another reason to hate BEVs.
The current administration FCC director threatened to pull broadcasting licenses of stations; if they didn't remove, muzzle certain people from asserting their first amendment rights....... Your not allowed to call-out the dictator-n-chief - he's made it clear that he'll go after you with the full weight of the government. Even inciting vigilante groups to go after you, and dangling pardons to convicted felons - claiming that they were 'treated unfairly'. Give me a break, they were convicted by a jury of their peers, and in some cases plead guilty....... At least they were given 'due process', unlike the jack-boot- thugs currently running the streets. No ID, No badges, No body-cam, and in most cases NO due process. I really don't mind law enforcement, but I really need to see your face, badge, and credentials. I'm not a cartel member and hanging out at the immigration office to arrest someone, really doesn't require tactical gear and none of the afore mentioned credentials to be visible. I'm sure a judge would ask the same. I just heard that Caroline Leavitt's brother's, baby mama just got released from detention. Do you think she wouldn't be back in Brazil by now or dumped in some random country; if she didn't tell them she knew someone. Rules matter and it should protect us all; that's why due process exist. Laws aren't just made-up for fun; People's basic rights were violated - that's how these laws came into existence in the first place. 'regular-joes' needs to remember this, especially if you don't know anyone in 'high-places' and I don't mean the marijuana shop..... Getting off my soap-box now.....
Guess they'll have to give out a website address? But remember, don't use your phone while driving... Classic example of political leadership in our country only getting elected to get paid to benefit the wealthy with no awareness of how easy legislation could be created to ensure that basic traffic and safety information shouldn't depend on a private 3rd party for-profit corporation.
