An AM radio can be put together for pennies. I’ve gotten them as giveaway swag before. This is the stupidest controversy. You could give everyone in America an AM radio for the cost of this lawsuit and they could just stick it in their car with the stereo jack.
I take no position on this. Seems to me the cost should be negligible if they are forced to include them and the harm will be negligible if they are removed.
My guess is this has been made a big deal by right wing media who see it as a threat to their ability to reach imbeciles listeners and this would be a footnote otherwise.
That being said, having an EBS receiver in cars isn’t a bad thing. Cell networks are unreliable in emergencies. Cell phones didn’t work for days after 9/11. Not that car radios would be particularly helpful in NYC with super low car ownership.

930 years into the future, and they still can’t write themselves out of a wet paper bag, but to answer your question: no. I don’t want to see a S31 series, either. That’s the point of a clandestine, off-the-books organization is that you don’t see or hear anything about them. they’re supposed to operate n the shadows secretly, dammit, lol. The jokers writing DIS had them parading around like James Bond introducing himself t every pretty girl and shady character in a casino like, “Yo, I just ripped of your casino for millions because I’m a master card sharp, and, btw, I’m an elite British spy sent here to kill your boss. Take me to him, please? Also, make me a drink.”
Edit: S31 worked in DS9 because they were creepy and they are generally regarded as repugnant by the Starfleet characters we saw and as a massive and shocking hypocrisy by the non-Starfleet/Federation characters. And then the DS9 crew worked to take down the leader of S31, simply for existing as an existential threat, not because it had become a self-aware AI bent on the destruction of humanity and intergalactic domination. DS9 had standards.
