First Nokia Lumia 1020 bunches now in hands of AT&T customers

The first Nokia Lumia 1020 customers, who have pre-ordered the smartphone, have started to receive their bunches. 

The Lumia 1020 turned out to be extremely popular for the carrier,While the WP8 cameraphone is exclusively sold by AT&T in the US, people living in Europe have a wider choice of carriers. In Germany, Vodafone will give you the Lumia 1020 only for €29.90 if you opt for a two-year contract with a €70/month tariff (calls and data). T-Mobile's cheapest offer, on the other hand, has the Lumia 1020 listed at €149.90 with a 2-year contract and €80/month plan.

Pricing in the rest of the EU should be pretty similar. The Nokia Lumia 1020 will go on sale in Europe in September though, so you will have to be patient.

Self-driving Driver lesscars set to be tested in UNITED KINGDOM.

The first ever trial of self-driving cars on Britain’s busy roads will take place later this year.

Researchers from the Oxford University have been working with Japanese multinational automaker Nissan on the technology and have already tested a car on a private road in a science park.

Trials will soon take place on lightly used rural and suburban roads, The Telegraph reported.

Scientists have adapted a robot car, which is capable of running on a predetermined familiar route, although the driver can reassert control by tapping on the brakes. 

The trials of the driver-less cars and a pledge to pump another 500 million pounds into electric vehicles are the cornerstone of the U.K.government’s strategy.

 Internet search giant Google has already tested driver-less cars on 1,60,934 kilometres of roads in San Francisco, the report said.

These cars have been left to drive themselves using cameras, radar and laser sensors.
