later today, the u.s. justice department will ask a court to force google's parent company to sell chrome, its internet browser. that's according to bloomberg news. cbs' callie o'grady explains what this means for customers who use the popular search engine. >> reporter: the move against google comes after a landmark ruling in august finding the company created an illegal monopoly on search engines. that's a decision that google plans to appeal. while the department of justice declined to comment, i spoke to google, and it said, quote, the doj continues to push a radical agenda. this would harm consumers, developers and american technological leadership. chrome accounts for more than 54% of the browser market and google is its default search engine. if the tech giant is forced to
3:18 am
sell, that innovation goes away. for chrome users the difference would be minor. instead of google being your default search engine, you have to go to google.com. for the company, this could be a substantial blow. owning the number one browser provides critical data for its advertising. further, as it becomes more integrated into search, any restrictions could prevent google's chances of being a market leader. the judge will not make an official decision until august of next year, but it could go against the doj recommendation and pursue a different course altogether. there is a potential wild card. president-elect trump will take office before the sentencing and appeal process. while the case was originally filed during his first administration, he has since expressed skepticism about breaking google up. kelly o'grady, cbs news, new york. turning now to an historic storm that's hitting the pacific northwest. forecasters call it a bomb cyclone, a rapidly intensifying storm that will pull moisture

3:20 am
>> building a tunnel is of course a huge cost, but doing nothing is also something that has a huge cost. >> reporter: many u.s. cities are also going green to tackle flooding. from los angeles to new york to philadelphia, communities are embracing sponge city solutions to absorb water and cut flood risks. >> we will also have more of these very high intensity events which we normally call cloud bursts where you feel like the whole sky is emptying out at once. and depending on where in the city, they empty out all of this water. it can really create problems. >> reporter: experts warn cities around the world could face a trillion dollar bill by 2050 as rising seas and inland flooding take their toll. tina kraus, cbs news.

3:24 am
we'll go out and see how safe they are behind the wheel of a car. >> reporter: gray worked for aaa for 29 years and now owns a traffic safety consulting firm. he helps families navigate the difficult conversation of when a loved one should stop driving. >> the conversation is hey, mom, or dad, you know, i'm seeing these dents and dings on your car. maybe we should look at other modes of transportation. >> reporter: by 2030, an estimated 71 million people in the u.s. will be 65 and older. that's 21% of the population. >> given the aging of the society, we are headed for a major mobility gap. >> reporter: joseph coughlin runs the age lab at m.i.t., where he studies how transportation and technology can improve the lives of older people. >> we're not testing older drivers. instead, we look at how are new technologies behind the wheel either helping or distracting. so you want to go for a ride? >> reporter: can i fit?
3:25 am
>> i think you can. >> reporter: to do that, coughlin and his team have designed this simulator. sensors track heart rate, eye movement and stress levels as a driver encounters simulated distractions. coughlin then provides data to automakers. >> we're helping car companies rethink how they design the vehicle. >> reporter: no amount of technology will be able to guarantee safety for some aging drivers, which is why vonsel gray knew it was time to put down the keys and rely on hitching rides from family and friends. >> three years out of the driving game, how do you feel now? >> i think it was one of the best decisions i've made in my old age. >> reporter: now she can enjoy her retirement in the passenger seat. i'm james brown in
