    What’s to stop auto makers from putting one crappy am radio with a tinny speaker built into the dash labeled “Emergency Radio”?

      Nothing, other than that there’s no possible way that’d actually be cheaper than just including it in the godawful-complicated touch screen entertainment center that will pathologically already exist in every new car.

      I can imagine a troll blasting all kind of crap for the lolz while stuck in traffic on the predefined channel if you can’t turn it off.

        Then you severely underestimate the FCC and the amateur radio community. They might not find them immediately, but they will find them. People get tracked down for a lot less than fake emergency broadcasts.
