2:43 am
sense of that. what they call the blind zone. >> a blind zone, 12.5ft long. another danger for larger vehicles. stockburger says braking distance. after showing a sedan hit the brakes, she showed us an suv more than a ton heavier, going the same speed. so an entire length of the car. it took more to stop. >> it's a much heavier vehicle, and it's just going to take that much longer to bring to a stop. >> but three quarters of vehicles sold in america are suvs and pickups, which isn't likely to change. automakers have started repositioning front cameras lower to see pedestrians right in front of vehicles. >> what a great visual aid for the driver to get something like this. >> a safety upgrade that is too late for the molinas who lost emmanuel. here.
2:44 am
>> he gave us a. hand in our family. >> and we will never forget. >> molina's are hoping changes to technology and awareness can prevent anyone else from feeling this pain. for eye on america, i'm meg oliver in houston, texas. >> electricity rates continue to climb from coast to coast, and with the steamy summer months upon us, a lot of people are turning on their air conditioners and bracing for the monthly bill. but some companies are working on more cost effective ys to keep cool. david schechter got a look. >> we're going to look at like a giant mechanical ice cube in the heart of manhattan, four stories below ground. they are air conditioning. this iconic skyscraper using ice. are there actually ice cubes in there? >> there's about 500,000 pounds of ice. created every night. >> holly paper is with trane technologies, the company responsible for installing the system called an ice battery.

2:46 am
whole bunch of excess power plants to just sit around. never turned on until that hot, hot day in august. >> so instead of building more power plants, the focus is on storing energy, like with i.c.e. batteries. but because the process of freezing water uses a lot of energy itself, shamburger and others are testing new materials that don't need to get as cold as ice, but can still keep a building cool. >> we take water, we add some other elements and molecules to it, and based on the composition, we can control that temperature basically anywhere we want it. in this 0 to 20 c range. and that's important because what might work great here in texas, maybe it's not the right temperature to store your heat at. if you're in nevada or in wisconsin, say. >> do you see a world where if i had this system at my house, i probably would pay less money to cool my house? >> absolutely. but, you know, we're we're we're we're a little bit at a time far out. right? >> he says ice may be just the beginning. because as the planet

2:55 am
feel blessed that i could be here amongst all of these amazing things. and people think my thing is important enough to be part of it. it means that maybe we didn't waste our time. >> certainly not to the caretakers of this legacy. so what will the next 100 years in furniture manufacturing look like? >> well, obviously need an archive that's twice as large as this one. >> that was michelle miller reporting cbs news roundup. we'll be right back.

3:19 am
absolutely spectacular. >> there's no jet engine roar, just a gentle sway. >> what does it feel like? >> it feels a little bit like a roller coaster. i feel a little bit of butterflies in my stomach just because we're up so high. but it's unlike anything i've ever experienced. it's surreal. >> the city sprawled out below like a living map. >> is there any chance i might get a better view from up front? >> absolutely. >> wow. yeah. right. seat on the goodyear blimp with my captain. this is amazing. >> some of the best seats in the house. >> ducati has close to 6000 hours in the blimp. that's a number that makes other pilots nod in respect. >> we'll make a couple of right turns, then we'll be kind of over top of the airport there. >> our 45 minute flight flew by, and too soon it was time for this quiet giant to head back to base. >> what's the landing going to be like for me? >> just the exact opposite of the takeoff. so we're going to do vertical takeoff and landing. it's quite subtle. it's not
