Last year half of all robberies involved stealing an electronic device. We have the story. This woman walking along polk street was texting and not looking up.

Lisa argen will have all the specifics for you coming up in her forecast. A San Francisco legend has passed away, or more accurate half of a legendary team. Abc7 News Reporter Jonathan Bloom has more on vivian brown, one of the famous San Francisco twins whose sister now has to carry on without her. In the small familyowned nob hill cafe, a corner table sits empty. A table that two nights a week was home to one of San Franciscos biggest attractions. Im marion and im vivian. I know, but whats your last name. Brown. They graced countless advertisements and they werent just guests at the cafe, they were entertainment. They wanted autographs . Always, they would get up and want to take pictures and the twins would love it. Strolling through union square, they were as recognizable as sir Francis Drakes doormen. That ended when vivian was hospitalized for alzheimers disease. She was the he would by 8 minutes. Ser sister alone for the first time. I hope they find a cure for alzheimers. Marion visited vivian almost daily, thanks to an outpouring of donations that allowed her to stay in the city. People would email with money to offer help and volunteer to donate. Services are costly when you are elderly and you need care. Caretakers say vivian finally passed away, peacefully in her sleep. The brown twins were so impeccable in their identicalness, even people who know them for decades say there isnt a story, a conversation or even an outfit that was just one of them. Could you tell them apart . No, i couldnt tell them apart. Honestly, i could not tell them apart. There was no way to tell them apart. As a matter of fact, you would not want to tell them apart. Former mayor, willie brown, said the twins embodied the uniqueness that represents San Francisco. Their passage means onehalf of that theme is now gone. A little bit of the city just left us. In San Francisco, Jonathan Bloom, abc7 news. It is 6 42. Lisa argen keeping an aon our very cold forecast. But its a beautiful start to the frosty saturday. Numbers in the lower 30s. Heres a look from the east bay camera. We will talk about our warmup, when its going to warm up coming up. Thanks, lisa. Also ahead, Silicon Valley car technology. We will take a driverless car for a test ride and you will be able to see how it can get into and out of a ti good morning. Take a look at this gorgeous sunrise from the embarcadero. The bay bridge in the background. Such gorgeous dollars with the blue sky. Dont be tricked, its not going to be warm, its probably the coldest out there right now. Lisa argen will be here in a few minutes with the details. The selfdriving car may be years away but its development is yielding short term advances to make driving safer and easier. Some of that research is underway in Silicon Valley. Business and Technology Reporter david louie shows us some examples. We can all relate to this, returning to a parking lot we find the car is boxed in, making it difficult, even impossible, to open the door but technology can solve this dilemma. Ultrasonic sensors built into the bumpers, along with driver assisted technology, can move the car out of the tight box. While theres a long range vision to create autonomous or selfdriving cars, audi is working on incremental technology. We assist them in very predictable situations. We also can allow that he is a little bit relaxed on whats happening with the car, but he still remains behind the Steering Wheel to be in charge of whats happening with the car. Audi is part of the Volkswagen Group that runs this Electronics Research lab in Silicon Valley. More than 100 engineers, designers and others are working on prototypes. Heres another example of driver assistance. Squeezing into a tight spot in the garage. While cars may some day be able to drive themselves, engineers believe drivers need to ease into it and to know when to intervene. If you suddenly introduce total autonomous technology, you dont know if the person takes over immediately, right . So we want to make sure there are steps that people have the experience and practice of being able to take over when they need to and then eventually it will be natural when they need to take over when the car is a little more autonomous. Research such as this is often done in secret, but audi, by letting us see some of what they are working on, not only excites the public about the future of the automotive industry, but also gives engineers here in the valley some impetus to rethink their careers and perhaps working in this field. Abc7 news. Lisa has the forecast now. Its a chilly one now and it will be chillier later. We have a lot of sunshine to look forward to. The Sierra Nevada not getting new snow but they have a cold start. Minus 10 is the temperature at the tahoe Valley Airport, with the highs of the lower 20s. A clear sky all throughout the bay area back home but we had a few clouds overnight and a puff of wind out by the delta and higher dewpoints just enough for the National Weather service to cancel that freeze warning that was in effect last night. We had a frost advisory, as well. That has been lifted. But we do have a freeze watch in effect for the entire bay area tonight, as more frosty temperatures are forecasted. Heres a look at live doppler 7hd where our sweep on top of mount saint helena. Right now live showing absolutely nothing out there in terms of precipitation, but that could change as the system skirts along the shoreline in the days ahead. But unfortunately it is not going to move into the bay area. Were talking dry and cool for the next several days. Right now its 32 degrees in napa. Good morning, livermore. Just freezing there, as well. With novato at 32. 39 in oakland with 41 the warm spot San Francisco. For our friends in the south bay, mid30s san jose with 33 los gatos. This morning colder than we were friday morning. 8 degrees colder on the coast and 8 degrees warmer by the delta. Thats why we didnt see the numbers drop into the 20s overnight tonight. But with the string of cold nights for the next several nights, we are still talking about frost. Perhaps a hard freeze tonight. Sunny and cool the rest of the weekend looks dry, and the milder weather getting into play by the middle to the end of the work week. So it has been unusually cool. In fact, numbers should be in the midand upper 50s for this time of year. Heres the system that really didnt am to anything. In fact, it just brought enough cloud cover and enough of a breeze out there to allow for the numbers to stay up just a little bit tonight or last night, i should say. Partly cloudy skies to mostly sunny this afternoon. Talked about that minus 10 at the tahoe Valley Airport. 26 for an afternoon high. 50 today in sacramento. Its just 57 in los angeles. They have had the icy roadways throughout the grapevine. 34 in yosemite and we will be dry from north to south today. Overnight lows tonight, you will notice colder, 28 in livermore as well as napa with just 30 in concord. 31 for fremont and down in the south bay peninsula, 32, 33. Bundle up. We have the game tonight. The 49ers this afternoon. But today in San Francisco, just 50 degrees. Its six degrees below average. 52 oakland, as well as san jose with 49 in clear lake, 48 livermore and 62 salinas. For the game temperatures will be dropping from the upper 40s to the mid40s at candlestick and we will look for a clear and cold night overnight with possible freeze. Frees patches all around the bay and looking at the frosty mornings through monday, upper 50s to about 60 by thursday and friday. So eventually we will warm up, but dry right on through the week.

Idea is to peak inside your body and surprise you with the results. Carolyn johnson, health and sighen reporter, has the details. For jessica, microbes are a window into the human body. Everything in your gut, you are eating what you eat. Shes talking about the thousands of biological hitchhikers that live in our stomachs and in our bodies. A community known as our microbiome. Earlier this year researchers at the glad Stone Institute at ucf did a detailed map that helped and catalog all the bacteria present in the human digestive system. They believe knowing which organisms are there and what they are doing can tell us a lot about what is going on inside our bodies. Theres a wide range of diseases, everything from obesity to diabetes. To take advantage of that information, richmond and her team are launching a startup called ubium. Kind of a gut level variation on gene sequencing. Its headquartered at an Incubator Lab at ucf. Doug crawford believes the project could pay multiple dividends. They are turning science into impact with already success. She said the person will receive a kit and send back swab samples from various parts of the body. She said once the dna is sequenced, the Company Hopes to provide valuable clues about an individuals health style. It looks like you are eating more carbohydrates or you are drinking a lot of caffeine. We can see those sorts of things.
