and house evidence will be included unless there is a vote against it. >> we are in favor of this, we believe that once you hear those initial presentations, the only conclusion will be that the president has done absolutely nothing wrong. >> why should this trial be different than any other trial? the short answer is it shouldn't. but leader mcconnell's resolution would turn the trial process on its head. >> the resolution calls for votes on witnesses and more documents after openings. democrats pushed back senate minority leader's chuck schumer for amendments of the subpoena of documents. >> the senate can remedy president trumps unprecedented cover up by taking a straightforward step, it can ask for the key evidence that the president has improperly blocked. >> they evaded a decision, and they are asking you to become complicit in that a vision of the court. it is ridiculous. and we should call it out for what it is. >> azor 53, the names are 47. the amendment is table.

resolution with the majority in today's senate. >> mitch mcconnell made some last-minute changes today, why did he do that? did he put pressure? >> absolutely, susan collins who is seen as a swing vote, she said to him early on about 24 hours ago saying you need to make some adjustments to this in order for me to feel comfortable with it and i'm sure some of the republicans echo that. if you're starting to feel that you certainly want to make sure that you appease your base and it looks like he has because we have seen the partyline votes 53-47 two each and every one of these amendments. he wanted to make sure he did not take a loss early on from his party. >> senator mcconnell has made it clear that he wants the trial to be over as fast as possible. how will these changes implement a today affect the timeline? >> when you compare things to the clinton trial, there was the 24 hour limit for opening arguments but there was no further agreement about how long or how many days they could take. rushing those two days of 12 hour marathon days for we are going to see that expanded to three days and likely will see the resolution passed. it still could only last about 10 days when you consider everything involved, that was to put us before president trump's state of the union on february 4th, which mcconnell had hinted that he would like to see. that is if they do not vote to see when is is. if the republicans stick with mcconnell throughout all of this, we only see it go that short-term. >> a long way to go in the early stages, thank you. the senate impeachment trial

of the future will be missing several critical components, like the steering wheel, a brake pedal, and an accelerator. and its true purpose is to be more of a lift or uber ask rideshare vehicle then personal transportation. ben is an automated vehicle researcher and expert at uc berkeley's advance transportation center. >> certainly automated vehicles have the potential and the safety realm, we are very excited about it, we think it is inevitable. >> experts say while intelligent vehicles will provide a lot of rear enters, t- bones and other common accidents, and lower your insurance rates, truly driverless cars are years into the future pick >> until there is a real, true connected and automated vehicle, we are not going to see the full potential. >> that is because in a truly autonomous environment, cars have to be able to communicate with not only pretty much every other vehicle out there, but with traffic monitors, implanted road sensors, roadside sensors, weather stations, traffic devices, and many other things not connected or developed. >> we have to be able to communicate with each other, and currently there is no standard way of doing that. >> and not having such niceties such as steering wheels and brakes makes that a whole lot riskier. so, how long until your car can drive itself anywhere and everywhere? >> i think we are 20 years off until we see that on a widespread manner. these vehicles would not take nearly that long in order to pull this off. they have already run these vehicles, which are actually little suvs, but have the same technology in san francisco where this clearly is going to take off for over 1 million miles, they know every inch of every road anywhere in san francisco, and if they can pull it off here, then these vehicles can learn all the other places very quickly, plus everything has been learned in san francisco about how people operate and how they get in the way and all that stuff. right at the moment, this is going to be these vehicles and all the other vehicles really talk to each other, then the days that -- may be over and the cost of insurance will have to plummet. reporting live, tom baker. tom, i thought in order to test these electric autonomous cars, that they had to have a steering wheel and a break and someone sitting behind them just in case. if, as you say in this vehicle here, they don't have steering wheel, or gas pedal or break, how could they test that in san francisco or any other city in the bay area? >> because all the technology they tested was in cars exactly like it, they were little chevy ev's that did all of these things. now, they will move to the permitting stage where this will be allowed, because if they prove the technology, then they are granted certain kinds of rights and experiences that will allow them to do this. so, there are two things that have to happen. they have to get the permits which i think will be forthcoming given the extraordinary technology here, how fast it works and every thing else, but the other thing that is so important is you have got to make enough of these to make it worthwhile. you have to have probably thousands of them running around san francisco in order to make a really significant difference. if they can do that, i guarantee you that is going to change urban transportation. if you change urban transportation, you change a lot of things about pollution and transportation and mobility for most of the people in this country, and eventually in big cities around the world. >> all right, tom baker life for us tonight. thank you. >> i was just thinking about my parents, probably your parents too. when cars first came out in the 20s and 30s, they loved driving. they loved driving. i think my grandparents would be rolling over in their grave, they loved driving. >> i get it, i kind of like driving too. >> that is the fun part. >> i guess for urban driving it makes sense brakes make it is not traffic. right. but yeah pick >> this is right out of the jetsons. >> you, kind of. >> they are driving out there now, check out the roadways. you can see the scattered showers, all over the bay area, it just kind of made for sloppy folks. what is interesting is all our camera shots, the traffic doesn't look too bad. i was looking at on the traffic maps, but overall, the traffic is a little heavy on the san mateo bridge. scattered showers moving to debate area san francisco, oakland a few scattered showers , san francisco right now you can see kind of coming out of it, the bay bridge has a little bit of moderate. it is really not heavy rain, it is just well, i shouldn't say that. in the north bay it has been more raindrops. for most of us it has been a heavy mist. the north bay, most of the day it has been raining north of the golden gate bridge. they have gotten anywhere from a half inch to a couple of inches of rain in some of those coastal areas. traffic out on the fell bridge. >> richmond san rafael. >> okay, i lived in san rafael. >> that is my. i live in the east bay. eclairs of tomorrow, the story tomorrow is going to be a little bit of cloud cover, and fog tomorrow morning because of the wet ground. then we go through a period into wednesday evening and here's thursday morning, a little fog, there is thursday afternoon, dry dry dry until we get to saturday when the system wants to drop down and maybe a sprinkle saturday night into sunday morning. so forecast highs tomorrow, and in the five day forecast. so, the rain we are getting now is kind of it to the next few days. we need rain, but not going to get it from this storm sorry to call it a storm. i will see you back here at 6:00. as the impeachment trial continues in washington,

rules that will guide the impeachment trial of president trump. the issue here is what will and won't be allowed. greg lee tells us that it is shaping up to be a partisan process as the house managers and the presidents defense team argue about what is fair. on every point, our straightforward resolution will bring the clarity and fairness that everyone deserves. >> the mcconnell resolution is nothing short of a national disgrace. this will go down, this resolution, as one of the darker moments in the senate history. tempers flared before the senate impeachment trial of president trump even reconvened, as a bitter debate over the rules started, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell made last-minute changes, giving house managers and trumps defense team 24 hours each for opening arguments over three days instead of two. and house evidence will be included unless there is a vote against it. >> we are in favor of this, we believe that once you hear those initial presentations, the only conclusion will be that the president has done absolutely nothing wrong. >> why should this trial be different than any other trial? the short answer is it shouldn't. the leader mcconnell's resolution would turn the trial process on its head. >> the resolution calls for votes on witnesses and more documents after openings, democrats pushed back, senate minority leader chuck schumer and
