In today’s era of rapid technological development, cars are no longer just a simple means of transportation, but have become a comprehensive mobile platform that integrates safety, comfort and intelligence.
With the continuous upgrading of in-car entertainment systems, from the initial cassette player to the CD player, to today’s digital media playback and Internet connection, it seems that every technological innovation is announcing the elimination of traditional equipment.
However, in this era of seemingly pursuing cutting-edge technology, China and the United States have both considered mandatory installation of car radios in new cars, a move that has undoubtedly attracted widespread attention and discussion among the automotive industry and consumers.
A must-have for new cars in China and the United States, the secret behind the return of car radios! – Youjia
What prompted the world’s two largest economies to decide to go against the tide and re-enable this seemingly outdated technology? The answer may not be simple.
First of all, the return of car radios is not due to the pursuit of retro feelings, but from a deep understanding of the importance of emergency communications.
Whether it is natural disasters or man-made emergencies, such as earthquakes, floods, terrorist attacks, etc., these extreme events often destroy or interfere with modern communication networks, causing mobile phones and other communication methods that rely on the Internet to fail.
In this case, traditional radio broadcasting has become the most reliable information transmission tool due to its unique transmission method and wide coverage.
Therefore, the installation of car radio is actually to ensure that drivers and passengers can obtain rescue information and guidance at critical moments to ensure personnel safety.
