drive to put self-driving cars on the road. cadillac is developing a car it says would be semi-self-driving. general motors begins to plan selling the cars in the next few years. time now for a look at today s number ones. first up, the american lung association s ranking of cities with the worst air pollution. los angeles leads the list with the worst ozone levels. in fact, nine of the worst cities are in california. ames, iowa, has the least amount of pollution. and new york has a top score for the country s most walkable city. now to infamy on the hardwood. the bobcats ending their season with 23 straight losses and with just seven victories. the bobcats go down as the worst
to the stop in the middle of the road. all passengers in the minivan did not make it. the delta 2 rocket zooming its way to the heavens right now. main engines start, 1-0 and lift often of the delta 2 with the mpp satellite blazing the way for new technology for climate research and weather forecasting. beautiful image to take in this morning. the rocket blasting off from vanedenberg air base in california an hour ago. it s carrying nasa s brand new weather satellite that will track everything from temperatures to ozone levels. and now, brian, the honors with the world series game last night. maybe the greatest game in world series history. if you stayed up to watch, you saw an incredible end. game six of the world series, a thrill between the rangers and cardinals. you see it there, cardinals tie the game in the ninth inning with two runs. they have to get four extra innings, into the 10th trailing
