Sony phones could let you share battery life TECH

  Pretty soon, you might be able to swipe some juice from your friend's device.
Sony recently earned a patent allowing for two consumer devices like smartphones to transfer power between each other. The patent was unearthed by tech site What A Future.
The technology would leverage near-field communication (NFC), used in many smartphones to communicate with nearby devices or contact-less payment systems used with mobile payment apps.
In the case of the Sony patent, NFC would be used to allow one device like a smartphone to suck up power from another phone. When using NFC on current smartphones, users either touch another device or keep it close enough to transmit data. In the case of contact-less payments, users engage with a special card reader at a retailer to process a payment.

Everything you need to know about the Google lawsuit that could derail Uber's future

  Anthony Levandowski The first self-driving car prototypes are already navigating the roads in a few cities. But the real action is about to take place in the courtroom.
Google and Uber, the two giants at the forefront of developing the technology, are vying to own the emerging market and to suck up the profits.
The stakes are high and the fight is already getting personal, with Google accusing one of its star engineers of stealing some of its crown jewels.

Last month, Waymo, the self-driving company owned by Google's parent company Alphabet, sued Uber, claiming that one of its employees stole vital technology shortly before starting his own self-driving company (which Uber later acquired).
Autonomous cars have the potential to upend massive industries ranging from transportation to auto manufacturing. For Google and Uber, the opportunity and the threat posed by a world of self-driving vehicles is huge.

Samsung commits to monthly security updates for unlocked US smartphones

  According to a report from ZDNet, Samsung is finally bringing monthly Android security updates to one of its most neglected flagship smartphone variants: unlocked US devices. An e-mail from the company says it has "resolved the challenges" with releasing monthly updates, and it is now "committed" to releasing updates every month for "unlocked Galaxy devices" in the US.

Unlocked devices are usually safe bets as the best models for updates because they are free from carrier interference. This means there is one less stumbling block in the usual "Google ⇒ OEM ⇒ Carrier" software handoff. In Samsung's case though, remember there are two major versions of the Galaxy S7 (and most other Samsung flagships): the "international" version with a Samsung Exynos SoC and the "US" version with a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC. For the "international" Exynos version, the conventional wisdom of "unlocked models get updates first" holds true.

This electric luxury car lets you snooze

Autonomous cars don’t come more cozy or crazy than the NIO Eve and EP9, two candy-colored vehicles that want you to believe the automotive future is almost here.

The cars drew steady crowds this weekend here at SXSW Interactive, which once again invited technologists from major automakers and brash startups alike to lay out their roadmaps for the future of mobility.
Tucked inside a low-slung downtown building that the Chinese-funded company had taken over for the festival, Eve presented a vision of mobility that turns the dreaded commute into a dreamy knitting or TV-watching escape.
A few feet away sat the sleek EP9, which had only recently set an autonomous car speed record at the nearby Circuit of the Americas, lapping the Formula One circuit at a driverless top speed of 160 mph.
“Today’s cars are the (Internet equivalent) of the dial-up modem,” says NIO’s U.S. CEO Padmasree Warrior. “The true next generation vehicle will come fully from the digital side.”
Warrior would seem well positioned to help NIO execute on a software-driving-hardware approach. The Indian-born engineer has served as chief technology officer at Cisco and sits on Microsoft’s board.
