5:10 pm
melissa: the consume electronics show is in full swing and today we're talking about an automaker partnering with google glass. controversial? some say yes. one san diego woman just got pulled over and ticketed for driving while wearing google glass. auto companies and google glass aren't the best of friend but one car company is standing out from all the rest in its completely embracing it. hyundai announced its new genesis 2015 sedan interacts with the driver through google glass. here with all details is hyundai executive director barry ratslap. shelly palmer the tech expert next to him. give us his take. barry, let me start with you. are you concerned at all? somebody just got ticketed. a lot of people are concerned about safety pairing drivers with those wearing google glass?
5:11 pm
>> yeah, you know this is a very important point. let me start off by saying that driver distraction is eimportand fundamentally people should not play with their smartphones while driving. what we're trying to do here is help solve the issue. important note to note that the google glass app we developed is intended for use outside the car in predrive experience. we're trying to take some of things you would normally do in the car, savv some time and do them before you enter the car. melissa: can i ask you, you have them on. are you distracted now? what are you looking at? are they clear? >> they're clear. i'm looking in camera. they're in the periphery of my vision so i can look up to see the screen when i need to and concentrate on task at hand without being distracted as well. >> can police tell if you're on and using them or if you're just wearing them and like you are and not doing with them? >> i have a screen cast here. you can see exactly what i'm
5:12 pm
seeing in my google glass. this is the genesis app. i can enter the app and give awe flavor for kind of things we can do. remote features. some things like, it is a little bit of lag time here for the display. sorry. poi surge. we can do dealer search. this is exactly what i'm seeing in the screen. melissa: part of the advertisement it can help you find your car if you can't find it in a parking lot, is that right? how does it do that? >> yeah. it is. blue link has invented cellular modem. we can connect to the car remotely, the owner can. smartphone app a glass app from a website. locate your car. say where you where you forefor get it in airport parking lot or football game in crowded parking lot. how many times have you wandered around trying to find the car. we provide a solution. melissa: or if you had too many drinks, that is perfect. shelly, what do you think of this? is this going to be hit? >> this is earl days.
5:13 pm
google glass is not product, it's a concept. when i look at google glass helps me look into the future. tells me nothing about the present. apps like this are really awesome they tell us what we can expect the future, future social logically, not technologically. these things we do now are all about how we, as human beings are going to be exo digitally enhanced. what is different, instead of looking at my smartphone which i carry with me all the time i have a heads up display. human beings with heads up displays, that is the story. idea using it to get into the car or out of the car, that's a real question. distracted driving is the number one worst thing you can do in the world. melissa: right. >> let's not even start to talk about it. you certainly don't need to put on a pair of google glass to find your car, whether drunk or sober. what you do need to do -- melissa: that is joke obviously. >> but it is not a joke, melissa. it is the whole point the whole point what we have now we have a heads up display for people. we're tied to the phone.
5:14 pm
outoutsourced memory and wave finding. this is how we see it better. i'm faster at seeing things. i have mind on with -- melissa: google glass and -- >> no, this is my glasses with google glass but i'm seeing notifications. people are texting me, hey, shelly. your tweets, you're on fox. that's awesome. i'm seeing you and seeing that. i don't have to look at my phone to do it. i know i'm getting tweeted. melissa: barry, let me ask you about crossover of two products because google glass is really marketed to someone who spends a lot of money, is pretty tech-savvy and relatively high-end. i think of yundai buyers as being, very focused on a bargain and good deal. i'm not sure there is a lot of crossover between those two markets. >> you know, shelly, melissa, you couldn't have given me a better setup. on monday at the detroit auto show we'll announce the next version of our hyundai genesis. it is premium rear wheel drive sedan aimed at up market customers. we're still a value brand.
5:15 pm
you get a lot of car for your money. it is fantastic premium product and first vehicle we're using to launch our generation platform which allows to do great stuff like the google glass app. melissa: guys, thank you so much. send me your glasses. i need to try those out. bmw is going for the gold. the u.s. olympic team has not won a gold medal in the bobsled race in 78 years. bmw is hoping to help turn that around. they designed a brand new high-speed sled for team usa this year. will it win? we have the president and ceo of bmw of north america. thanks for joining us. >> my pleasure. melissa: will it win? >> sure. they're going for gold. melissa: what makes the bobsled special? >> we designed it from scratch. we can do best is build fast, dynamic vehicles except this time it doesn't have wheels. melissa: right. >> so we started building it as i said from scratch with carbon fiber body as it has minimum weight, we could play around
5:16 pm
with the center of "gravity" as we like, as we started building the sled as we need it. and we also went to put it into a wind tunnel. it is really top of the art -- melissa: have you done this before? >> no, we haven't but we have california-based company called design works that can design basically everything. and designer that actually has done the sled used to design race cars. melissa: yeah..% >> he was up for the challenge. that's what it is. melissa: is that a lot of pressure if we lose i am going to blame you. >> go ahead. melissa: no -- >> we're really confident. just look at the track record so far. this season we've had four gold medals, five silver, five bronze. so we're knocking it out of the park. melissa: you talked about the carbon fiber body. obviously that is technology a lot of people are fascinated with, that is new, very much state-of-the-art. has that been done before with bobsleds? >> no, it hasn't. we enhance our knowledgg from
5:17 pm
the bmw i brand and they are made from carbon fiber reinforced plastic. we're building cars with that material. melissa: yeah. >> we could actually, use our knowledge and put, go right ahead and build a body like we were. melissa: the show is called "money." so i have to ask you about the dollars of all this. did they pay you -- >> no, this is part of our support for the b-mw, for the u.s. olympic team. we supported them during the olympics in london two years ago. and now we're supporting them for the winter olympics. that is part of our commitment to the u.s. melissa: so you pay for the sponsorship and also provide the bobsled. >> yes. melissa: did they give you discount on sponsorship because you give them the equipment they really need? >> they love the bobsled. melissa: i was kind of kidding and kind of not. what is the process of designing the bobsled? how involved were the actual athletes themselves? did they test it? tell me about the process.
5:18 pm
>> absolutely. we looked what was around so far. then we went to the drawing board and said, what would a optimal sled look like? and, put it into the wind tunnel knew what regulations were. had prototypes we tested. we made changes. we knew what it would be all about, what was necessary to make the thing fast. melissa: yeah. >> which we know how to make things fast. melissa: you're a german company. why are you doing this for the usa instead of germany. >> as our chairman said white a while ago, u.s. is our second home and we've been committed to the u.s. for more than 40 years. that what's we do here. melissa: thanks very much. a lot of fun. looking forward to seeing that. coming up, are unpaid internships ruining the american dream? more and more young people are expected to work for free and the backlash is growing. we're talking to one group taking the issue all the way to the white house. better pack your bags and book a one-way ticket out west because that is where the jobs
5:19 pm
are. we have a list of the best cities for job growth when we get back. you will be surprised by some of them. yeah, that one is obvious. we have surprises too. do you ever have too much money?

[ male announcer ] for some, every dollar is rned with sweat, sacrifice, courage,
5:21 pm
5:22 pm
melissa: whether you spent it fetching coffee or doing research or runninger rand, you probably remember the first internship but did it ruin the american dream for you? which have mike strange lynn co-founder of fair pay campaign who says unpaid internships are ruining it. how so no thank you for having me. unpaid internships are open to people who can afford to work for free. if we're commit to the notion
5:23 pm
everyone that works hard are committed to get ahead, make sure all jobs include be internships pay a wage. melissa: mike, i have to stop and disagree with you. i worked two and three jobs during a semester so i could afford to do unpaid internship in this industry because i wanted to. i was hungry. you don't have to be rich. be industry just and hungry to go do the internship. it separates out people who are focused and driven and people who won't show up unless you give them money. >> but people who have wealthy family support them, who have independent wealth, they don't have to be hungry or driven. they can just show up anyway. melissa: i think somebody who is hiring interns can smell that. as somebody who has interns around all the time, you know the rich kids and then you know kid really focused and want to be there. so i don't think that argument really holds water. you have another one? >> we've got plenty of arguments. melissa: okay. >> another really important argument is everyone's work has dignity.
5:24 pm
everyone's work has value. nothing more important teaching people the work they're doing is important. in this society the way we do that is by paying them a wage. melissa: i think that what an intern is getting not being paid is knowledge. in most cases, interns are not doing work that is worth paying. they're mostly watching an maybe by the end of the summer or mess semester they're contributing something but for the most part they are not worth paying. if you had to pay them you wouldn't have them and that internship would just go away. >> melissa, i speak to hundreds of interns. i was an intern myself. i don't hear from interns saying they were sitting and watching. i hear from inturns saying they were doing substantive and important work. take example of interns on production of black swan who sued fox searchlight successfully. they were not sitting around watching. they were doing important taskses. runners on set of the film. they were doing work that needed to be done. they deserved a wage. melissa: this that case in particular they were doing a lot of grunt work, running work, you're right.
5:25 pm
that is situation where they hire a professional. if they're forced to be paid they would have hired someone in the industry. those kids hired in that case would not have gotten that job and wouldn't have gotten a break in the the industry. they were doing work for free as way to get into the industry. if that were a paid position, 2,000, 3,000 people in hollywood would have gobbled it up. those interns would not have the opportunity or not gotten into the business. >> i'm sorry, i don't understand your question. i mean of course i disagree with your, with your assertion. melissa: i'm saying those two people, would not have gotten that job if it was paid. it would have bonn to someone with a resume' who had a background because there are tons of people in hollywood who want that job. is that okay with you, if it is paid, those students who had the job with a break in industry, don't get a leg up or entrance in the industry? instead it goes to somebody already there. is that okay with you. >> that is clearly not going to happen. first of all it wasn't job, it
5:26 pm
was internship. if it was a job it would be paid. melissa: you're saying pay them. that makes it a job, not internship any longer. >> the film industry, political industry, journalism industry has to keep bringing in new people. every industry needs new talent, new graduates, new workers. melissa: not in hollywood. they have more people than can possibly fill, i mean they have more people than can fill all jobs they have in hollywood. no one would ever get a start in hollywood at this point. so many unemployed people walking around hollywood. there are industries can just afford to do it. that is where the unpaid internships go -- >> fox searchlight can afford to do this. fox searchlight can afford as every other production company. as conde has. fox searchlight is part of billion dollar parent company. melissa: i didn't they can't afford it. no one ever said. of course they absolutely can afford it but no one new in the industry would ever get in because somebody with resume' can get the job.
5:27 pm
at the can definitely afford it. >> every other industry and every other country where the practice changed demonstrates that is not true. other industries practice is less widespread, particularly tech industry. big tech organizations hugely competitive to work there. they pay the interns fair wage but still attracting bringing in talented workers and new staff. melissa: mike, thanks so much for coming on. we appreciate your thoughts. >> thank you so much for your time. melissa: up next, is anyone you know looking for a job? then stick around. we have the top cities across america for job growth. you won't believe what's on the list. "who made money today?" this pop siren was rolling in the cash when she released her hit album back in 2011. but rumor has it she is still laughing all the way to the bank three years later. "piles of money" coming right up. that is so obvious, come on. mot common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you
5:28 pm
at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning.
5:29 pm
if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa. there's nothing like being your own boss! and my custome are really liking your flat rate shipping. fedex one rate. really makes my life easier. maybe a promotion is in order. good news. i got a new title. and a raise? management couldn't make that happen.

>> of the top cities or job growth across america did your town nicholas? a new study from the built-in institute ranks the best places to be. here with a big reveal is the man be a kind of the report also have fortune editor that to save fox news contributor. what is the number one city on the list? >> austin texas. thank you for having me. he has been a perennial top performer that has both technology, low business costs, lower regulatory environment and overall very business friendly also the top university. melissa: what is available for jobs? >> not all technology but the leading growth is in the technology area. systems analyst makeover
5:32 pm
$82,000 substantially above the national average wage for all industries. melissa: will this whole study the in anticipation of places where computer programmers can get jobs? is that the future? >> not a labor the future is but where the growth is now. the studies show where jobs are growing. i have been a witness to san francisco which has an end of the things that ross mentioned without the exception of a great university but not a great business and fired me. not a low clock -- low cost place to live. melissa: it is number three may be a great place for job growth but not necessarily want to move. the cost of housing is a fortune. do you compensate at all for that? >> no. we don't measure housing
5:33 pm
costs. places that have lower house the cause saugh have low job growth the person going to work in san francisco for oracle or a twitter are looking for the next breakthrough technology it is not just about the wages but stock options. melissa: i will correct a space year of steady you talk about cost-of-living number two is provo utah and the average cost is 8 percent below the national average so that seems the uptick of the letter because there's a lot of job growth put the cost of living is lower? how is that possible? >> it is the emerging technologies center. does not have the concentration that's a francisco has but with brigham miller university it
5:34 pm
would have been successful there is not one strategy not low-cost or regulation the you can be innovative of san francisco or san jose. melissa: what type of jobs are wray talking about? maybe i can be retrained because this is where the jobs are? what kind of jobs are we talking about? >> my sense those are not the type of jobs out all. what we have here for the second time in my 15 years is a gold rush mentality. young peoole looking for their fame and fortune coming here to do whatever they can. of their computer programmer stare in the sweet spot but when there is so much money around everybody else looks for a way to make about. i don't think it is said huge opportunity for retraining to be candid.
5:35 pm
melissa: does that mean you're better off going to a place like san francisco? or are you better off of four other cities is there more opportunity there because it is less popular? >> it depends on in your motivational factor. if you want to be with the best and brightest to hit it big in the technology area area, and san francisco, a cambridge massachusetts, the san jose, silicon valley is a place to be but there are some sleepers that are new leveraging the technology centers like raleigh north carolina, a seattle, portland and there is no plan prescription in or place to go but if you look for a more friendly family atmosphere eventually you want to get married provo and salt lake city are very
5:36 pm
attractive. melissa: were you surprised to see you taught twice in the top five? >> there has always been a vibrant seen there they had several good universities in the area people enjoy living there because if you want to have a family for whatever reason are various reasons utah is a very family friendly place no doubt. has summoned was raising a family in san francisco that is less family friendly place. melissa: why is it less family friendly? >> expensive. the schools are a challenge. to find a place to live is difficult and expensive. these are things that make you work harder debtor challenges if you want to raise a family. i am doing its but it would be easier to go to a lesser market. melissa: i just want to clarify it is not hostile to
5:37 pm
kids but it is expensive. >> some never argued the city of san francisco house families flee as soon as they get to be school-age. i am not taking that position before not far off. melissa: a lot of information. thank you. forget the year-end bonus workers want incentive right now. one study says making employees wait months and months for a bonus can do more harm than good. what you think? is a once a year botas keeping you loyal? our panel is ready to go. at the end of the day it is all about cold hard cash. open to ambition. open to boldids. that's why n york has a new plan -- dozens of tax free zones all across the state. move here, expand here, or start a new business here

5:41 pm
companies and employees are debating the benefits of the bonus. is it is a gesture of hard work or is it a source of competition and entitlement? and at the end of the day do they even work? our money talker panel is ready. with julie, a mercedes and jack, what do you think? is many a motivator. >> i am a job. i give my assistant a bonus. he has been with me for 11 years. melissa: something is working. >> you are getting up bonus when near i didn't he would be furious. i think what is more motivating is a thank you.
5:42 pm
>> at i don't care if you talk about gold for my little radio show or a restaurant bonuses cost very little and companies get a huge upside for varied little money but if you don't pay it there is a huge downside. people expected a christmas. my lobbying firm would spend tens grant at christmastime get $1 billion of upside. >> you know, the way by people approach their jobs or of the way they come in the morning. melissa: then why only once a year? maybe it is the key people motivated only in november or april. >> that is a big issue going to once a year at the end of the year but that last quarter of the behavior will be better but that should not be the case. start doing its quarterly from the beginning. it really is jerry --
5:43 pm
generational. talking about the millenials they want money to. >> if you break it up the problem is it is too small and does not have the impact if you hit them at the end with the anticipation everybody thinks it is the holiday bonus weather is the investment banker by the emerald or foreperson paying for tuition costs. >> they said in the article studies have shown a financial incentives are pour motivators i clicked through but it went to the tueber video.
