Your life, your future now becky quick. We begin with the Summer Travel season. Its in high gear. And americas roads and bridges are at a low point but when theyre fixed, they may be a lot smarter than they are now and that will make them safer, too as we found out in our cover story. Our roads getting a d on the most recent report card our Transportation Network is slowing in some ways, our economy and making it less efficient. The estimated impact by 2025, more than 2. 3 trillion in Business Sales lost. More than 1. 2 trillion in lost gdp. The nation eas bridges gettingc plus the study estimated there will be a funding gap of more than 1 trillion by 2025 half the money needed to fix our roads and bridges. And taxpayers will likely pay for problems one way or another. Motorists on average send 600 a year on additional maintenance on their cars because of poor road conditions. Reporter drivers are expected and preparing byline the the roadway fiber optics and building a wifi highway that can connect with cars of the future at the end of u. S. 33 is the Transportation Research center where connected and Autonomous Vehicle technology is being tested to make it safer. The state also investing in smart lights like these, designed to send and receive data from vehicles warning, red leight ahead ultimately, our goal is to eliminate serious crashes at these intersections. This technology has the ability to eliminate them. Not reduce but ultimately eliminate them once the signals are outfitted with the Technology Reporter fatal crashes have increased by 7 over the past five years the cost is billions and billions of dollars, and thats something we also can address by improving infrastructure reporter the cost for families even greater. A loss of life cant be measured in dollar amounts, but the impact of quality of life can. By 2026 the report estimates that congestion on roads and other infrastructure will cost the average household a thousand dolla dollars, 5,000 per year that collision. It was a prop, exactly. This is a longterm issue short term, people are in favor of raising the gas tax they brielieve thats a shorttm fix. It hasnt been raised in more than 25 years. More americans than ever are behind the wheel this summer during peak driving season how safe are the roads robinson claire, its good to see you. Good to see you lets talk about the things we saw in that piece Safety Innovations wifi, smarter lights at intersections. Do you think those will save lives . It will save lives, but it ultimately comes down to the driver behind the wheel. The Autonomous Vehicle is that it would take the driver out of the crash. We are optimistic on what Autonomous Vehicles can do, but were a long way off gas prices are lower than three have been many years ago, maybe not as recently as theyve been in the last couple years. How politically feasible is a gas tax . Is it something that would be federally passed 30 states have already raised their gasoline taxes next year is critical. The fixing americas surface transformation act expires next year if it is renewed it needs a small increase in the gas tax of the unfortunately, the gas price has been a little higher than it has been it makes a little bit more difficult. What happens if they dont . Theyll probably kick the can down the road. There will be insufficient money to fix the roads and well have more problems. 33 of our roads are in poor condition. What do you predict in terms of gas prices for this summer . It depends on what happens in the near term. Weve seen a couple factors that have led to higher prices. Opec said theyre going to continue their Production Cut back from 1. 8 Million Barrels a day. We saw the fire in philadelphia. Tensions in the middle east trade talks tend to have the opposite effect. When theres tariffs and what have you, theres less demand for gasoline but demand is way up so three factors say theyll go up, a couple factors say theyll go down. Were in what the triple a calls the 100 deadliest days of the year what is it memorial day, holidays. We see fatal crashes going up. Speeding, distractions, using alcohol while behind the wheel and were seeing the increase of legalization of marijuana making the roads more dangerous has that had an impact . Oh, absolutely. In the states where, technically, colorado, that is a big problem. Weve done a survey of senior drivers. Half of them say they are taking seven medications or more. That bodes very poorly for those drivers being out on the road and being safe what do you do in a situation where somebody is taking seven medications . We have an excellent tool called road wise rx. You can put in medication and it will tell you whether its dangerous.

What we realized its difficult for Small Businesses we went to Small Businesses who said were struggling to make this migration online.

If you are like me, you hate the pesky flies that show up every summer our jane wells is locked and loaded to give this invention a shot hello, im lorenzo. Im the inventor of a bug asought. Reporter a guy who never graduated high school is killing it killing flies. I was a weird kid i didnt like flies. This is where you pour the salt in reporter okay. 57yearold lorenzo created the bug assault. A stun gun filled with table salt last year he sold 27 million worth. Theres one fly in there. Reporter it has to die there he goes reporter lorenzo started thinking of creating the bugasalt gun over 25 years ago. I dropped out of school when i was 16 i think, and i moved to oxnard and just surfed for like three years. I was a wallpaper hanger it was something that let me have my own business, and i was good at it for some reason reporter in 2009, he came back to the idea of a fly gun, maxing out his credit cards to make a prototype and sending 70,000 from his wallpaper profits and more from an Angel Investor i went with that prototype in 2009 and stayed for two months working with a toymaker. And im just sitting in the hotel, looking at this thing that ive done its ready for the world, but i have nowhere to sell it. I have no. Reporter you have no plan . No plan reporter he chose salt as buckshot to keep food safe near any flies he might be shooting at and asalt doesnt blow the fly to smithereens indy go go put it up its doubling every hour. And im freaking out i think i raised 575,000. And we couldnt ship, so we had to return all the money. Reporter there were a lot of bugs to work out in the product. And, a control freak by nature, he had to learn to manage other people the customers say the product is addictive. They always say we dont have enough flies to shoot, so we decided to leave the doors and windows open now they want flies tocome in. You take the shot. Got it i only stunned it because this was a twoman job the idea is so good i couldnt let it go i think i should clarify something. When he said he had to return some of the indy go go money, its because he got a bunch of international sales, and they were not equipped to do that he had to change his chinese supply chain when he improved the product. And a lot of it became defective. So he had to gather all that back and fix it. Hes always trying to perfect the gadget, like the pink camo version. Ive had this thing for five minutes and im already addicted i almost put one of the camera operators eyes out with the ricochet but look you shot that fly, and it only stunned it i notice he likes salt because it doesnt make the fly completely blow up and i thought why not . And then i realized you dont want it in your food all over the place. Exactly gross does this work on just flies or other stuff too it can work on other things for me in particular, i said what about spiders because thats how i feel about spiders. Lorenzo doesnt like to shoot spiders. He has a whole thing about charlotte. Im kind of okay with that. I took a lightning bug out i escorted out of the house this morning because i like them, too. But flies, im all in favor of it how much does this thing cost . Where do you get one it costs about 40. You can get it anywhere, amazon, online its pretty easily available i can see why people leave their windows and doors open its like me too. Im already shooting at windows and video screens.
