The world of smartphones changes mighty quickly, and if you blink, you’re bound to miss the latest and most delectable devices. That’s where we come in, to provide timely roundups of everything your friends expect you to know, along with the insight that you crave. To bring you up to speed, in our December buyer’s guide, at first blush you might have thought we were doing an overview of the best Android phones on the market. That’s because of our 16 highly-esteemed handsets, a whopping 13 of them had Google’s operating system at the core. As you’ll see, the landscape has changed somewhat, and these new contenders that have come out swinging.
We’ve broken down this buyer’s guide by mobile carrier, each including the best handset money can buy, our favorite QWERTY alternative, and the most well-rounded budget phone available (with $79 as the absolute ceiling). For smaller US providers, we’re providing a single selection, though we’re confident it’s a good one. You’ll definitely be presented with some difficult choices, but that’s merely a testament to the abundance of stellar phones that aggressively compete for your dollar. With that said, let’s dive in — it’s roundup time.

ZMP RoboCar ditches driver, creates own map (video)
Posted in: Cars, electric vehicle, ElectricVehicle, ev, gps, Japan, robot, Today's Chili, video
How does a self-driving car know where it’s going? By using a map, of course — preferably a self-generated one. In yet another video exemplifying breakneck golf-cart-like speeds, the ZMP RoboCar shows us that it doesn’t need a driver to know where it’s going. At least, not the second time it goes there. After a few minutes with a fleshy friend behind the wheel, the autonomous automobile can safely steer itself around curves, roundabouts, and fountains. It may not be able to keep pace with Google’s tire-squealing, automated Prius, but at least we know it can see where it’s going.
