I
10c trivia which of these us States
became the 31st state in 1850 California
Texas Nevada or New
Mexico in 1850 California with a
population of around 990,000 became the
31st state and is now home to around 39
million up next news from the Golden
State where I'm reporting to you from
now California is making history as the
first US state to say no to four
potentially harmful chemicals in us food
products on Saturday California governor
Gavin Nome signed a law that bans red
dye number three and other potentially
harmful food additives and consumer
goods these ingredients are in a bunch
of well-known candies and drinks we're
talking Skittles protein shakes instant
rice and even Boxed Cake in response to
the signing the California governor said
the California food safety act was a
positive step forward for their part the
national confectioners Association has
said that by acting outside of the FDA
the Bill's approval will undermine
consumer confidence and create food
safety confusion nothing happens yet
though the bill won't take effect until
2027 this helmet will make it easier for
deaf and heart of hearing football
players to compete AT&T and galet
University have collaborated to develop
the first 5G connected football helmet
it will allow coaches to select plays on
a tablet and send them to a lens inside
the
helmet using augmented reality on a
small display the quarterback can keep
their team playing at the pace hearing
teams take for
[Music]
granted AT&T says that the helmet is
only the start and its technology could
lead to other applications like
improving safety for First Responders or
on construction
sites up next we continue our coverage
of driverless vehicles are they safe do
they make life better we've seen cars
that can switch lanes for you and ones
that let you go handsfree behind the
wheel and we've seen driverless taxis
and shuttle services but what about a
car available for purchase that would
allow you to completely shift your focus
off the road but like most cases there's
a catch stick around for more if you
want a car with helpful automated
driving tech there are lots of options
to choose
from some like Tesla's autopilot and
others can keep the car in its Lane on
the highway even changing lanes for you
some like GM super crews even let you
take your hands off the steering wheel
but they all have one thing in common
you as the driver must always keep your
eyes and your mind on the road not so
with mercedes-benz's latest Drive pilot
system
Sy I've been on Plenty of car test
drives but this is the first one I've
ever been on where I've gone looking to
get into a traffic jam with this button
here I can initiate A system that not
only allows me to take my hands off the
steering wheel but and this is a first
take my eyes off the road as long as I'm
on a major mapped Highway and I'm in a
traffic jam going less than 40
mph but this is LA traffic jams are
super easy to find
[Music]
here once I'm in the right conditions
and drive pilot is initiated I can
genuinely pay zero attention to driving
this car even lets me watch videos
browse the internet and play games on
the touchcreen like
trivia it's fun but drive pilot only
works in a pretty narrow set of
conditions on top of having to be on the
highway traveling under 40 mph it only
works in the daytime and the driver can
turn completely around in their seat or
lean way back and take a nap various
sensors make sure I'm physically in
position to take over if I have
to also Mercedes chose sunny Southern
California for this test drive if it
rained this wouldn't have worked either
another reason for California it's the
only state besides Nevada where this
Tech is currently
legal now that companies like wh and
Cruz have self-driving cars giving taxi
rides in some places Mercedes Drive
pilot system might seem kind of me but
neither of those companies is close to
selling you a car you can park in your
own
driveway this is the first time any
automaker will sell you a car provided
you can afford a Mercedes S-Class or eqs
plus $2500 for the first year to unlock
the feature where the car will
completely drive for you even if it's
only some of the
[Applause]
time
[Music]
and for today's 10 out of 10 we're
asking how did the sheep cross the road
a large herd of sheep actually recently
crossed the road in aell Washington
causing quite the scene a video shot by
a drone showed a massive group of sheep
being herded across the road think we're
trying to be perfidious well look at
what it took to get them to the other
side with CNN's Genie Mo
next don't even try counting sheep there
too many of
them swirling beneath the Drone
recording them in aello Washington a
couple of men on utility vehicles herded
the Sheep while another guy strung
plastic fencing across the
highway how did the sheep cross the road
following each other like sheep
naturally it felt like something out of
Rawhide rolling rolling rolling
keep doggies rolling speed it up it was
weirdly mesmerizing and oddly
reminiscent of coward by a Kansas
character who calls himself farmer Derek
Derek drove around strategically
dropping feed for the cows so that the
Drone overhead captured them forming a
smiley face look at this it's
[Music]
perfect look at
that giny mous CNN New
York and now on to my favorite part of
the day I want to give a special shout
out to Oxford Hills Middle School in
South Paris Maine we see you and we hope
you and everyone watching around the
world has a wonderful Wednesday and
thank you to coach Williams World
Geography second hour from Bethany
Oklahoma for selecting this Wednesday's
word perfidious which means deceitful
and untrustworthy have a great day
everyone we'll see you here
[Music]
tomorrow
