gas and get on the road, your car will be equipped with new technology preventing you from going more than 10 miles an hour over the speed limit. specifically the bill would require new cars or trucks made or sold after 2027 to come with what's known as a speed governor. >> that is a gadget that can monitor a vehicle speed while using gps technology to know exactly what the speed limit is on any given roadway. the speed governor can then physically slow car down shouldn't be going too fast. the goal of this legislation is to save lives. too many people are dying.ain fact, senator wiener said it's the data that drove him to author the bill. he points to statistics from the transportation research, nonprofit organization known as trip showing california traffic fatalities increased by 19% between 2019 in 2022. in 2022 alone, 4,400, california has died in vehicle crashes. speed is a big contributing factor. and so

the bay area, that rain really gets going by tomorrow evening. so this is moved up a little bit in speed getting very heavy overnight on saturday night into early on sunday morning. you see all the yellow, the orange and the red. those are heavy bands of rain moving in. and boy, it just continues throughout the night. go along with that. of course, you've got some extremely gusty winds, maybe some 60, maybe some 80 mile an hour gusts. rainfall totals. yeah, they're going to get pretty crazy as we head through time. some of those amounts, maybe 4 to 6 inches over the santa cruz mountains, lesser amounts down below, but still maybe one to 3 inches. many the urban and cities where we lived. rain continuing into monday as well with maybe some thunderstorms, more showers into tuesday. little bit of a break on wednesday before more rain on thursday. >> and now kron 4 sports. >> the forty-niners were back on the practice field today. their last full practice before they head to vegas on sunday. kyle shanahan said this week was crucial from practice perspective. the plan was to install the game plan

and get as many ducks in a row as possible before they descend on the chaos of las vegas come sunday afternoon. of course, qb brock purdy. well, he's always seemed immune to the effects of chaos. remember his playoff run last season ended with an injured elbow in the nfc title game. >> but this year he guided the forty-niners to 2 comeback wins in the playoffs. capped by bringing back the team from a 17 point deficit in the championship game against the lions and earning an elusive super bowl so you better believe the 24 year-old is going to enjoy the ride. pretty said he hasn't changed his approach. this postseason other than asking some of his veteran teammates. what to expect. and he feels he's prepared to avoid all the pre super bowl week. genders and prepare for a successful run at the lombardi trophy. >> know that's a bunch of guys just really throughout the last, you know, couple weeks. and so just as playoffs rolled around the big games, the what

changes with their mindsets are almost all the guys i've taken some you know, from every single guy. i'm not really a of specific things from specific people, but >> all i can and the leadership and the experience with these guys here like you can tell how much you guys are hungry for one because you never know when an opportunity like this comes around like trent williams manage played forever and he hasn't had the opportunity go super bowl playing one yet. so like this is huge. you know? but every single guys got perspective. >> to be fair, trent williams did play washington. so no, not a lot of opportunity. is there. all right. >> over on the other side of the ball, the forty-niners once dominant defense seems to have taken some steps backwards, especially in their last 2 games. >> neither of those winds started off well for the 9 or d and they've been widely criticized for not showing up in the way fans have become accustomed to over the last few seasons. both the packers and the lions pretty much had their way against the defense, combining for 772 total yards in those 2 playoff matchups with the lions rushing for 182

yards in the nfc championship game. against patrick mahomes and the chiefs. all the players have acknowledged as much general manager john lynch met the press today and was asked about the defense is perceived lack of effort on certain plays. lynch did not mince his words short. efforts and non-negotiable. i mean, that's that's one of our core values. you know, i believe that in my heart of hearts, it's something. >> you know, we we've got 4 hall of famers that represent the defense i played in tampa. and if you ask every one of us that played on that defense, what was our calling card? it starts with effort and that being a non-negotiable. so those things have been you've got one game. i don't i really be shocked we saw that again. sometimes that comes i mean, there's excuses for theirs. they're just that their excuses. and and that has to be non-negotiable player heart out. and then we've got a lot of good players, a lot of good depth and you can get so those

are plays that we're proud of those players are proud of its been addressed. and i'd be real surprised by something or not. >> all right. no rain in sight for the second round of the pebble beach pro am today, don, the most picturesque place in the world, monterey bay, there is a logjam at the top of the leaderboard. there are 3 golfers sharing the lead thomas de tree. his 3rd shot out of the sand at 18 lays it right next to the cup. he'd get the bertie shot a 2 under 70 and sits at -11 as does ludvig putting at the edge of the green the first hole and knocking in the long bird. he shot a 7 under 65 today. shares that lead along with scottie scheffler, the world's number one ranked golfer shot a sizzling. 64 today finishing his round off with this birdie at 18. this is how close the field is heading into around 3.b2. golfers are within 5 shots of each other. >> at the top, that's it's
