cities back the measure. 55% of the voters did too. now this lawsuit filed by the taxpayers association claims the toll hike is actually a tax, not a fee. and needed 2/3 majority to pass. three bay area commuters point out the bulk of the money jen rated would go to public transportation projects. like ferries and new bart cars. we talked to the taxpayer association's lawyer, via skype. >> none of the money is being spent on bridges. some of the money is spent on road improvements. a lot of the road improvements are not -- not even indirectly connected to bridges. >> but backers say the mass transit improvements will take the load off the bridges. nearly three dozen projects could now be stalled. >> this obstructionism is, is just not going to be helpful to bay area commuters. nor to the economy. >> the bay area count still which is come the prized of 325 of the region's largest

brands now offer some kind of wireless data connection. many of them are able to send over the air, or, ota, updates for things like, adding satellite radio channels. or, updating navigation maps. but tesla's recent over the air update made an improvement to the car's braking system. although the way this adjustment was made, was unique, many vehicles today, need repairs. especially when they're involved in a safety recall. every year, automakers and the federal government, issue hundreds of recalls. and because one in four recalled vehicles on the road has not been fixed there are likely million of car owners who may not realize their vehicles need repair. so, could over the air updates be the future of car repair? >> what cars are really becoming computer on wheels. there is a lot of hardware. a lot of things are software controlled. those things can be updated over the air. it comes to really hardware

stuff. think, suspension. springs, transmissions. a lot of that hardware, you are still going to-to bring it back to the dealer. >> consumer reports says the prospect of this technology could be pretty great. being able to receive an over the air update that would not require you to bring your car into a dealership, could save owners time and automakers money. so, how far off is this scenario? >> several automakers have this capability. and more on their way. but there are risks. because the while they could update your car do make it belter they could potentially have a mistake. they need to clearly communicate changes to the drivers. something changes in the way you use your car. you've need to understand that. >> you can check to see if your car has had any recalls online by using consumer reports recall tracker tool. here's how it works. enter your vehicle's year, make, model. and then you get a list of recalls, along with information on huh to get your car fixed for free. now i have a link.
