Welcome back to the overnight news. Im meg oliver. There are troubling questions this morning about the automatic braking systems found in a lot of new cars. The technology is designed to help drivers avoid frontend collisions, but hundreds of drivers say it sometimes slams on the brakes for no reason, and that has proven dangerous. Kris van cleave has the story from washington. Reporter the technology is supposed to sense when a crash is eminent, alert the driver, and if need be, hit the brakes. But weve found reports from drivers claiming crashes, even injuries because of false activations of the emergency braking systems on cars. Now carmakers and Safety Advocates say the vast majority of the time the Technology Works as it should, but it is not perfect. Do you worry every time you get in the car now . Uhhuh. Reporter for cindy walsh, just getting behind the wheel of her 2019 nissan rogue raises her anxiety. Since she bought the new suv last october, it has slammed on the brakes three times for no clear reason when she says there was no risk of a collision. The first one, i was driving down a fourlane highway going about 55, and it completely came to a complete stop. Reporter how do you feel about driving the car now . Im scared to. I dont drive it. Reporter walsh took to it the dealer each time. Twice she says they told her they fixed it. The national Highway Traffic Safety Administration is now investigating after learning of nearly 850 complaints of false activation of the suvs automatic braking system. That includes reports of 14 crashes and 5 injuries. Jason levine from the center for auto safety. You are just going along the road, and your car just stops. Reporter the rogue, like about half of new cars sold, is equipped with forward collision tecology that includes emergency automatic braking. Its supposed to sound an alarm and automatically brake if youre about to rear end another vehicle. It will be standard in most cars within three years. People are saying they were turning it off. The technology can help and save you and prevent crashes, but only if its on and working. Reporter the insurance for auto safety says auto driving is making driving safer, estimating it could cut rear end collisions in half, preventing 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries by 2025. These autonomous braking systems are braking and working in the real world, but there is definitely room for improvement. Reporter since 2015, there have been seven recalls for auto braking recalls affecting nearly 180,000 vehicles. There are more than half a million nissan rogues subject to the nhtsa investigation, and the regulator has received hundreds of complaints about socalled phantom braking in vehicles from a number of other automakers. If i want to start the autopilot, what do i do . Reporter it happened to us last year. Overall it is safer. Reporter we were driving a tesla 3 with tim stevens. The car pumped the brakes as we approached an overpass on a busy new jersey freeway. May have seen that bridge as another car. So another example that its not perfect. That was odd. Yeah, a little bit disconc t disconcerting. Reporter in a statement, nissan acknowledges that some rogue drivers may notice false act vase like some railroad crossing, bridges and lowhanging traffic lights, but says it is committed to the safety and security of our customers, and has made a Free Software update available at dealerships. Cindy walsh is unconvinced. I dont feel safe driving it anymore. I dont feel safe putting my family in it, so i dont want the car. Reporter walsh took nissan for arbitration. She won.

Tracy smith has her story baby, baby reporter she has been compared to some of the greatest singers of our time. Reporter and now you know why. Im crying reporter her name is melissa jefferson. But shes known by her childhood nickname, lizzo. You might say this has been her year. Shes still riding the wave of an acclaimed new album. And this summer, she had the number one song and the cover of elle magazine. Plus, she stole the show on mtvs biggest night. Ooh, girl, kick off your shoes reporter at 31, it seems lizzo has finally arrived, though she has been here all along. Do you feel like your career was a slow build or something that happened fairly quickly . Its the slowest build of all time. Its the slowest burn. Ive done so many tour, but nobody knows who i am until this year. But what i have been able to maintain this type of mainstream success ten years ago, hell to the no. Reporter you needed that ten years . I needed this ten years. I feel like a master. And you all can change the world. Reporter she also has become a master of the ipo attitude. In nearly every show, she leads the audience in her own personal mantra. I love you. I love you. You are beautiful. You are beautiful. And you can do anything. And you can do anything. Reporter does it work . It works. Because talking bad to yourself works. Its the antidote to oh, so stupid. Its no, you deserve this. Youre intelligent. Words are so powerful. Reporter and she knows just how powerful those words can be after a lifetime spent listening to mean or even wellmeaning comments about her weight. Its like a little mosquito bite. Somebody is well, you a big girl so you can never have short hair. You always have big hair because youre a big girl. And they say that lovingly, but thats a little mosquito bite. You dont even know its there. Soon you look up, youre covered in mosquito bites and youre oh my god, i have all of these things, but they were so normalized to me because they were so innocent. Reporter people meant well . They meant well. But i had to, like, peel back a lot of layers. Reporter but it didnt start out that way. Lizzo was born in detroit and grew up in the houston suburbs. I would walk to my best friends house, and we played spice girls and we made our own little girl groups. Reporter she learned flute as a teen and says that her band director at elsik high school, manny gonzalez, helped give her the focus she needed. I had a lot of talks from my band director. Youre always late. Youre always daydreaming, but youre so talented. Get it together. And those talks really impacted me. Even though i was probably like reporter he was formative to you, right . Yes. He was i mean, he was like [ screaming ] reporter we brought him back. Oh, my gosh how you doing . Oh my god, so good, oh my god. Thank you. You did good. Wow, i did it, didnt i . You told my ass. Get it together, girl, because you are special. Apply yourself. Those moments meant so much to me. Hi. Reporter with gonzalezs help, lizzo went to the university of houston on a music scholarship, majoring in classical flute. But two years into her university studies, she dropped out of school. Her father michael, who was battling congestive heart failure, urged her to stay with the flute. He wanted me to perform and wear the little mic and playing through a synth. He wanted me to innovate flute. I was im going to do all of this. And his health just declined and declined and declined. And i really just wanted to be able to afford to take care of him. Reporter you wanted to save him. I wanted to save him. Reporter Michael Jefferson died in 2010, and lizzos world crumbled. There is nothing anyone can do. That pissed me off. I was so mad. What do you mean there is nothing anyone can do . Aggh reporter im sorry. I think sometimes i get angry instead of sad because its like a defense mechanism to be strong. Reporter and you want to be strong . Yeah. Well, i have to be. Like i have to be strong, because, like, life really doesnt give you an opportunity to show vulnerability. Life doesnt really give you a chance to let your guard down. Reporter eventually, she picked herself up and started climbing the rungs of a music career through bouts of poverty, homelessness, and crippling selfdoubt. Was deeper then, deeper than reporter she says her career finally took off once she started to believe that beauty doesnt have a size. The most beautiful thing that you ever seen reporter you said youve struggled with selfconfidence. How did you change it . Its not something that you really change. Its something that you address and work on. I had to address every layer of insecurity, because i cant just be like all right, my arms not jiggly and lumpy anymore. Thats delusion. Thats not ugly to me anymore and thats not wrong to me. Its beautiful to me. I think thats why i am able to call myself fat and people are like no even my friends. Ill be like but, you know, im fat. Dont say no. I am fat. I am beautiful. I think its because i learned to actually look all of my insecurities in the face, call them by their name, and fall in love with them. Reporter last month, lizzo went back to the university of houston and got a reception worthy of a superstar. I want to play a piccolo so bad but im scared. Okay, i got lip gloss on. Oh, god [ laughter ] reporter the schools most famous dropout has become a role model. Youre not supposed to be happy all the time. Youre not supposed to know what youre doing all the time, especially at this age, but not knowing what youre doing has nothing to do with where youre going. So i want you to know that. Cherish your journey and respect your journey. And keep playing your instrument, man, because people jealous of me because i still reporter you could say this is lizzos moment, and its one she wants to share. With the world. Hopefully, by existing there can just be more opportunities for people that look like me that are, you know, beyond what a trend is, and that theyre there on the merit of their talent. Theyre there on the merit of their beauty, and theyre there because theyre good enough. Reporter just like ou are. A lot of kids go to college, in part to get away from their parents. But what if your mom followed you to college and even took the same classes . Here is janet shamlian. Reporter when Janet Ehrhardt walks to class, she is the first to admit this isnt the usual college experience. I mean, i really cant remember a defining moment, but all i was thinking was, okay, you can come to college with me, but youre not going to take classes with me. Reporter Kathy Ehrhardt is not only emmas mom, she is her classmate. Their stomach pain, missed work. Reporter together they tackle the same tough suggests and a shared dream. Both want to become doctors. Kathy enrolled after 14 years as stayathome mom. You dont have to do this at 18. You can do this at 30, 40, 50, 60, whatever age you want.

Im supposed to graduate from here at 17 years old with my bachelors in biology and get my md at 22. I started school at 5, as every kid does.

Reporter kathy says her daughters drive gave her the courage to finally go for a goal of her own. Its going to take a lot, and it is a huge risk. Whos to say i for sure get to go to medical school, or that something doesnt happen. Reporter what started as one class together has turned into identical schedules. And for good measure, some healthy competition. It will always be like oh, im at a higher testrade tha you, or i did better on this. Were pretty even. Reporter the challenge extends beyond emma and her mom. While theyre in school fulltime, emmas dad handles home duties with emmas two other siblings. It takes a little bit of sacrifice from everybody. Everybody has to have the understanding that the dues have to be paid for these goals to be met. And everybody is okay with that. Reporter for all the togetherness and shared dream, emma hasnt forgotten she is her mothers daughter. Shes myes my friend in the school. At home, yes, she is my mom.
