Microsoft is reportedly working on another Surface tablet. According to WinBeta, the firm is making a successor to the Surface 2 that would be cheaper than the Surface Pro 3, which is already available. However, like the Pro 3, it will run full Windows, rather than the stripped-back Windows RT we saw on the Surface 2. Windows RT hampered the experience somewhat, meaning the device had far fewer third-party apps than rival tablets. The Surface 3 – as the device will most likely be named – will launch next month at Microsoft's Build conference. If it does run Windows 8.1, as the report claims, it would be the first non Surface Pro model to do so. It would also likely to be upgradeable to Windows 10 when that launches in the summer. The device will be fanless, and run completely silently, thanks to either an Intel Atom or Core M processor. The Surface Pro 3 will still be the higher-end model, so expect the Surface 3 to cost a lot less. When it launched the Surface Pro 3, Microsoft

Telematics makes your car safer, keeps you from getting lost, summons roadside assistance at the press of a button, routes you around accidents, auto-dials 911 if you’re in the accident, and starts your EV charging at 2 a.m. when rates are cheapest. Those are a few of the features that make up vehicle telematics. But what is telematics? For most users, telematics means navigation, communications, safety, security, and increasingly infotainment. Basically,  telematics  is a crash-resistant black box that receives wireless information, information more advanced than broadcast radio, and does something useful with it. Telematics doesn’t have to include two-way communication, but most of the good stuff involves going both ways. Usually there’s an embedded cellular modem as with GM’s OnStar . Some of the telematics work can be handled by your connected smartphone, as happens with  Ford Sync . Here’s our backgrounder on vehicular telematics. OnStar as the prototype for telematics
