families who have been living along zoo road in san francisco are now gone. overnight, a city imposed deadline for them to leave came and went. it's the latest challenge for a group of people who have been struggling to find permanent housing since the pandemic. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez has been following this story for weeks now she's live along zoo road. gloria >> good morning. reggie. yeah most of the rvs are gone this morning. there's one rv behind us right now, but that one just got here probably about 15 minutes ago. there are signs that have been posted saying people can't park there between midnight and 6 a.m. until mid september, and those rv residents had a deadline of midnight to leave or risk their rvs being towed. yesterday, there were still about two dozen rvs out here on zoo road in san francisco, and city workers have been meeting with these residents to give them housing, resources and vouchers for housing. in many cases, some of these rv residents will qualify to get a percentage of their rent paid by the city for up to three years, but san francisco will not be paying for people's

rent indefinitely. city workers say it's a case by case situation to help get people into housing now as a way out of homelessness, and many of these residents had moved from winston drive. they were also pushed out of that road after the city implemented a four hour parking restriction for an upcoming repaving project here on zoo road, the chronicle reports that a rehab and recreation center serving those with disabilities argued that the vehicles were not safe for clients, and this is all part of the recent crackdown on homeless encampments in the city. and many of those residents who have been living in the rvs here had been living there since the pandemic. many were working families, and the coalition on homelessness has been helping those residents. so we're hoping to get an update on how they're doing this morning a little bit later on today. live in san francisco gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. thank you. >> gloria. developing news this morning. there is a legal battle over your right to privacy inside your car. amanda, this involves a practice by general

motors that may have led to higher insurance rates for potentially millions of people. yeah >> and kumasi, the state of texas is suing general motors, accusing the company of violating the privacy of millions of americans. the suit claims gm misled customers by encouraging them to enroll in its tech based safety program like onstar smart driver. gm then collected data on things like how many times people exceeded the speed limit or violated traffic laws. then the company sold that data to data brokers who sold it to insurance companies, who then raised rates for some drivers. the problem drivers didn't know their data was going to be sold. texas attorney general ken paxton say, quote, millions of american drivers wanted to buy a car, not a comprehensive surveillance system that unlawfully records information about every drive they take and sells their data to any company willing to pay for it. that's the end of his quote. a gm spokesperson says the company has been in discussions with the attorney

general's office, and gm may not be alone. texas authorities are also investigating other automakers for their handling of customer data. back to you. >> amanda. thank you. your voice. your vote. vice president harris and donald trump are heading to north carolina this week for campaign stops. at the same time, the battle between the two vice presidential candidates is escalating. governor tim walz is coming off his first solo campaign event as the democratic party's vp pick. walz is also being forced to defend his military record after trump's campaign jumped on comments that walz made in 2018. >> we can make sure that those weapons of war that i carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at. >> walz was deployed to europe in 2003 to protect against potential threats, but j.d. vance said walz never saw active combat. walz, who previously admitted he misspoke, hit back on vance's attacks. >> i am proud of my service to this country, and i firmly believe you should never

denigrate another person's service record. >> walz continues his solo fundraising swing before heading to chicago for the democratic national convention next week. >> people in richmond may not get to vote on taxing chevron after all. today, city leaders are expected to decide whether to drop a november ballot measure in exchange for a big payout. the city says chevron has offered $550 million over ten years if they give up that tax initiative. the idea behind the tax was to compensate the city for pollution caused by chevron's oil refinery. richmond was already facing one lawsuit over the ballot measure. chevron was expected to sue if the plan passed in the south bay. >> some answers for the family of a mentally ill incarcerated man who was killed in a santa clara county jail in 2015. yesterday, three former jail guards pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter charges after beating michael tyree to death. matthew farris raphael rodriguez and jared lubran

month old baby, and knowing that she's home, dealing with that alone has been devastating for him. so pretty much any conditions could have been placed on him. and as long as he got to go home, he would have been grateful. >> jacobo has pleaded not guilty to the charges. >> we're seeing new video of the moments before an 18 year old richmond man was shot and killed by los angeles police. surveillance video shows the moments leading up to the shooting on july 13th. ricardo ramirez and three others were in a cadillac that was reportedly involved in a dispute with a driver of another car. an unmarked police car followed the cadillac when they stopped, ramirez got out and approached that car. seconds later, police shot him. his family's attorney says the officers should have identified themselves, and they followed protocol and waited for the marked vehicle. >> ricky would have known who he was approaching, and i think the video shows quite clearly ricky did not have a weapon in his hand. his arms were open on both sides near the window of the door, and he was right in front

of the window, and the only one that we see with any kind of weapon is a gun. come up and a shot go out, and ricky fall to the ground. >> the lapd says they are in the early stages of their investigation, and that ramirez was not armed. >> still ahead, intel turning to a chip maker for help as it struggles to keep up with competitors. >> plus, avon files for bankruptcy. the longtime beauty giant still facing claims that its products cost cancer. >> and let's take a live look at the big board right now, the new york stock exchange. you can see we're up about 40 points. another update on the markets next. >> but first, staying alert on the trails. hikers describe how they felt while seeing a pack of mountain lions in the east bay. first here's drew. >> hey there. 640 this morning we're looking at your air quality across the region. we are finding good air quality, lots of green dots on the board, and we anticipate good air quality the next 24 hours. let's get you going on this wednesday. looking at the forecast, it's a mix of sun and clouds out there.
