“That is what is the sticking point where many manufacturers are claiming that especially EVs, there's electrical interference, high voltage systems that and then but more importantly, it's about added costs for shielding and filtering. And you know, Automakers are proposing that people could receive emergency alerts via mobile phones or maybe even FEMA apps on their phones. But these options are not reliable in a crisis. And that's what's most important. It's unrealistic for people to pull over, pull out a handheld, download an app in. The accessibility of the alerts in real time is not guaranteed.” (00:46–01:01)
