Radio dominated the first half of the 20th century but the advent of affordable TV sets in the 1950s seemed to spell doom for the format. Yet, radio endured. Radio was able to create a distinct image for itself, separate from TV. I have own theories as to why (cars, transistor radios and the music industry) but nothing conclusive.
You can’t drive safely while watching a TV.
I feel like once self-driving vehicles are the only kinds that exist and they have TVs in them, radio will crash big time.
If you ask some police forces, driving with the radio on is also dangerous as it can also affect concentration.
Not as much as a screen, sure, but nonetheless.
