Will want to have complete reporting of the technology that becomes public so people can make a judgement. Reporter another company, delphi took a selfdriving car across the country from San Francisco to new york without incident. Last year one of its cars was hit when another vehicle struck it crossing the median. David louie abc 7 news. Now to the National Football league. The nfl has suspended san mateos tom brady for four games because of his role of using underinflated football. He will appeal that suspension. The league came down severely on bradys team, the new England Patriots fining them 1 million and the nfl took away two draft picks including a firstround choice next year. Anful . Investigation found brady was probably aware that the employees broke league rules by deflating footballs for him to make them softer and easier to throw and catch. Prior to the afc championship game against the colts. In a letter to tom brady nfl executive troy vincent wrote each player, no matter how accomplished and otherwise respected has an obligation to comply with the rules and the publics confidence in the game is called into question. Some think tom braidy is being singled out here that all quarterbacks like to throw a football thats in a certain Condition One way or the other. Mike schumann is live, and as someone who played for the 49ers, what do you say about this . Reporter well, i think he just got caught, tom brady. He didnt comply with the investigation, and all quarterbacks as you mentioned like a different inflated ball. Tom likes them less inflated and Aaron Rodgers likes them more inflated and as a receiver he likes the softer ball because its easier to catch. Quarterbacks like them harder than when i played colin kaepernick, a good example and the balls are so hard and slick on gam day, almost every receiver in the nfl wears gloves as a result because it makes it easier to catch those footballs. So i think a good way to do it, about a decade ago the home team always supplied the footballs so we never had these issues and now that the visiting team can bring their own footballs. Interesting. Shu, lets talk about the punishment handed down today, fourgame suspension and the Million Dollar fine and the loss of a draft pick. Tough enough . Not hard enough . Reporter no, i think its tough enough because new england has a history of trying to bend the rules in spygate and i think the fact that i mention that tom brady didnt comply with the investigation and he didnt give up his phone for the texts and s ands and he was very evasive about the whole thing because they won the super bowl. Nobody can break the rules and the new England Patriots found that out today. Okay. Shu, thanks very much. Mike schumann reporting live for us. Thanks shu.
