1. A computer-implemented method for providing emergency broadcast interruption in a vehicle comprising:
- receiving at least one radio broadcast transmission;
analyzing the at least one radio broadcast transmission to detect at least one emergency alert message on the at least one radio broadcast transmission;
assigning a priority to the at least one emergency alert message based on a type of the at least one emergency alert message, description of emergency detailed with the at least one emergency alert message, and proximity of the emergency detailed within the at least one emergency alert message with respect to the vehicle;
recording the at least one emergency alert message from the at least one radio broadcast transmission in which the at least one emergency alert message is detected; and
controlling a component of the vehicle to play the at least one emergency alert message based on the priority assigned to the at least one emergency alert message, wherein controlling the component of the vehicle includes at least one of;
enabling an infotainment player and playing the at least one emergency alert message within the vehicle when it is determined that the infotainment player is disabled and controlling the infotainment player to interrupt a currently playing infotainment stream that is taking place in the vehicle to play the at least one at least one emergency alert message when it is determined that the infotainment player is enabled and the currently playing infotainment stream is not playing the at least one emergency alert message.
