is a booming business, and now one silicon valley company is hoping this technology can improve public safety, as ktvu is. mark sayer reports, the company has developed an ai platform to help first responders get to where they're needed quicker. >> when you need help in an emergency, every second counts and some of those valuable seconds can be used up when emergency vehicles are delayed in traffic or at intersections. and that's where a.i. comes into the picture. >> so when it comes down to you or me or a loved one having a health problem, we want to have responders there as soon as possible. so how can we learn about daily variations? ai is the greatest choice. tim menard is ceo of a santa clara based company called light, which has developed a cloud based ai system to link regional traffic management centers to the emergency vehicles that use the roadways. here's the fire station. here's where the truck has to go to. here's the traffic . what's the perceived amount of congestion? are there people walking around? so that the road
10:48 pm
gets set up with green lights ahead of time, so that everybody's out of the way? >> this is a demonstration video provided by the company from seattle, where it is already operating. you can see on this map every single traffic signal along this route turns green. by the time the fire unit reaches the intersection, the system will even adjust in real time. if the fire crew makes a last minute route change. >> one thing where ai is really helpful in is actually the productivity of hey, are there going to be able to go down this primary street? or is there an event and they're going to have to go right, or go left, or use a back alley, right? it's notorious that emergency responders know different ways around the city. so ai in this case here is able to predict where they're going to go. so that those lights can be set off the city of san jose is already using the light technology to help route vta busses around the city on busy monterey avenue, while busses only get priority sequencing at signals and not immediate signal changeovers, the power of ai to analyze complex traffic patterns is
10:49 pm
already clear. >> so the busses now are next in line. >> they're prioritized at every intersection they go through. that's 120 intersections along that full monterey corridor route. it's made them spend less time at red lights and it's let them get the green light more often. that improves transit reliability and service for transit customers. >> the founder of light says its ai models are only collecting raw traffic data, and not any personally identified information, such as license plate numbers. reporting in san jose i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. all right. >> checking in on the temperatures from today is pretty nice. one all weekend was nice. today was nice a little cooler and then tomorrow it'll be very similar to today but slightly cooler. and that's the trend this week is for milder cooler temperatures. certainly as we head into thursday which will be the transition day this week between what is weather like we had today and what's coming on the weekend, which is rain. not a ton of it, but a moderate amount of rain. but in the mountains it will be a ton
10:50 pm
of snow, a lot of snow, and the biggest winter probably will be the biggest winter snow event of the season. certainly it might be the biggest one all year. truthfully as we get later down the road here outside, we've got some cool overnight lows. not not freezing above freezing for the most part, but a frost advisory is in effect for the north bay. probably do one again tomorrow or on tuesday morning as well. temperatures above freezing, but it'll get you frost out there. and that's how this works. and it's not unusual at all for this time of year, especially when you have clear high pressure conditions like we have right now. so that's the story in the north bay. these are some of the forecasts overnight lows pleasant but not horribly cold. again it's february. you don't want to forget that. as we look at the satellite we see lots of that's an atmospheric river. a lot of el nino type warm air coming in up here. all this was at one point was subtropical. it looks like it came up from the tropics, but it's moderated, modified, and now it's up in the
10:51 pm
alaskan alaska, gulf of alaska and the aleutian islands. and that's the next system that comes down. so air masses. i'm talking about a warm one down here that's exiting a very cold one. you can already see it's starting to drift on down in. and that's going to bring us low snow elevations. big snow in the mountains and moderate rainfall around here. moderate because this amount of cold air doesn't do well in holding water, it doesn't really hold a lot of water, quite frankly. so the rainfall accumulations inch and a half, maybe a couple of inches over three days for a lot of spots. and it will be it'll favor the slopes, the hills of the coastal ranges. it always does, but not as aggressively. so. we're not expecting hydro problems, water problems. tomorrow morning there's some valley fog over there and then tomorrow afternoon, and then wednesday morning. wednesday afternoon, little cloudy. and then this is the transition day. thursday morning. and then thursday night. that's when it starts to rain here in the afternoon, maybe on the afternoon commute. and then that
10:52 pm
translates to snow in the mountains. and for us it lasts pretty much thursday night friday, saturday and then done. here are the forecast highs for tomorrow. so a little cooler than today. the five day forecast there it is slight chance on monday night. that's today obviously. or was that slight chance. and then you can see where we go. there's the bay area weekend right there. and you can see that showers on friday and saturday okay. >> thanks bill. well the final link to the giants world series championship teams is going elsewhere. jason appelbaum has that story. next in sports. >> and tonight on the 11:00 news, a mount lion caught prowling around a bay area neighborhood. the community with this big cat was spotted

appreciate it that was brandon crawford after the giants season finale last october, where crawford was about to be a free agent. >> but there was still hope that he might return for one more season in san francisco. but that is not going to happen. good evening everybody. arguably the greatest shortstop in giants history, he's now a member of the saint louis cardinals. the 37 year old pending a physical, will join the cardinals, where he is expected to serve as a backup to rookie shortstop mason wynn. previously, crawford spent his entire 13 year big league, big league career with the giants, where he was a three time all star, four time gold glover and was instrumental in helping the giants win the last two world series titles in 2012 and 2014. crawford was a homegrown ball player through and through. born in mountain view, grew up in pleasanton, where he started foothill high. he was drafted by the giants in
10:56 pm
2008 and called up to the majors the year after. they won their first world series in 2010. and you figured crawford might be special right from the get go. his first big league hit was a grand slam. he would hit 145 more home runs and make countless eye popping plays with his glove over his stellar giants career. the third cactus league game for bob melvin and the giants hosting the angels in scottsdale this afternoon. jorge soler making his giants debut. and he lines one up the middle. that brings home wilmer flores. so they're two for two on the day, but the giants still trailed 7 to 1 now seven three, bases loaded for shortstop tyler fitzgerald and they are not loaded anymore. a grand slam for the giants prospect to tie the game at seven, but the angels. responded with four runs in the seventh and they win at 11 to 9. a's hosting the diamondbacks in

nearby mesa tied at eight bottom of the ninth, drew lug bauer he sends every body home with the walk off home run in. you got to you got to judge by everyone's reaction because you can't see the ball go over the fence. but the a's win it 9 to 8 to get themselves in the cactus league. win column a shocker at the gold cup. the united states suffering a rare loss to mexico in women's soccer. group stage action from carson, california, the top spot in group a on the line. scoreless in the 38th minute. defender becky sauerbrunn. she's outstanding, but she tries to clear it instead. the ball goes right to lizbeth ovalle and she left, foots it into the back of the net. one nothing more. marco ovalle, usa. s first goal allowed in a concacaf opponent in 33 matches. and then look at this. mexico ices it in the 92nd minute. that's stoppage time. mayra pelayo that's just a rocket. mexico beats the united states for just the second time
10:58 pm
in 43 tries. two nil. uh, mexico wins the group, but the united states still advances to the knockout stage. last night's loss notwithstanding, the warriors, they've been playing a much better brand of basketball lately, and they're finally fully healthy, too. after missing the last 21 games, chris paul he's set to return tomorrow in washington against the wizards. he's been out since january 5th with a fractured left hand that required surgery. the 38 year old will come off the bench and according to steve kerr, who should know he will get all the non steph minutes and some with steph on the court as well. paul is averaging nine points and seven assists in his 99th nba season. >> he's such a connector and a floor general and a guy that gets everybody in the right spot. so whether it's when i'm on the bench or the rotation where we're on the court at the same time, i it will hopefully,
