You can mandate AM/FM tuners in cars but you can't make people listen to them.

I *thought* Congress finally mandated that all radios over a certain
price level had to carry both bands to force the Detroit automakers to
offer dual band radios. Apparently I am mistaken.

They forced radio manufacturers to offer the extended band on AM.

Looks like the NAB doesn't know how to lobby Congress.
