“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

If you ask me there has been no foresight into this decision by certain auto makers. This may be good for large metropolitan areas but useless if you are rural. Where I live, there is no such thing as digital AM or digital FM so I guess, no radio at all?
