(Photo by Philip FONG / AFP) TOKYO, Japan  – Honda launched the world’s most advanced self-driving car licensed for the road on Friday, releasing an initial batch of 100 models in Japan.

The car also features an emergency stop function in case a driver is unresponsive to handover warnings, and Honda touts extensive safety testing. “Approximately 10 million patterns of possible real-world situations were simulated during system development, and real-world demonstration tests were conducted on expressways for a total of approximately 1.3 million kilometres (800,000 miles),” it said in a statement.

DUBAI (REUTERS) - An offensive by Yemen's Houthi group to take Marib city, the last stronghold of the internationally recognised government, threatens to displace hundreds of thousands and complicate a renewed diplomatic push to end the war, UN officials say. The gas-rich region of Marib has been a refuge for hundreds of thousands of people fleeing violence during Yemen's six-year-old war, expanding its main city rapidly. A frontline is now roughly 30km away to the city's west, a government official told Reuters, and humanitarian concerns are growing. "An assault on the city would put two million civilians at risk, with hundreds of thousands potentially forced to flee - with unimaginable humanitarian consequences," UN aid chief Mark Lowcock said on Tuesday (Feb 16), urging de-escalation. The recent push towards Marib by Houthi forces, who control Yemen's most populous areas, comes alongside intensified drone attacks into Saudi Arabia by the Iran-aligned group. Riyadh leads a ... » Learn More about Houthi offensive on Yemen’s Marib threatens mass displacement, UN warns

Mr Teerawut says Brother no longer focuses exclusively on sales, adding a subscription service for on-demand printing. Brother Commercial Thailand, the local unit of the Japanese printing tech firm, has set a fiscal 2021 growth target of 8% because of rising demand for single-function and medium-sized printers, as well as expansion to a subscription model. "We have seen a rapid change in the behaviour of consumer and corporate customers during the pandemic," said Teerawut Supapunpinyo, managing director of Brother Commercial Thailand. "Consumers are spending more time at home, so they demand entertainment as they observe social distancing measures." For fiscal 2020, which closes at the end of this month, Brother expects to see revenue growth of less than 1%, or about 12 million baht more than its revenue for fiscal 2019. The company's GTX garment printer and BMB karaoke system saw sales growth of 30%, he said. Demand for face masks also pushed up sales of the firm's sewing ... » Learn More about Brother sees 8% growth for fiscal 2021

When Somphote Ahunai returned to Bangkok after completing an MBA degree in the US, he had $200 left in the bank. Today the renewable energy and electric vehicle company he founded has a market value of $5.6 billion and testifies to Thailand’s highly successful advance into green and sustainable industries. After initially working as a securities trader, Somphote first entered the renewables business when he started producing biodiesel fuel from a palm oil plantation he had acquired. Then he moved his company, Energy Absolute Pcl, into solar and wind farms, growing to become the nation’s number two publicly-listed electricity supplier. Now Somphote has become a key figure in Thailand’s efforts to steer its highly successful automobile manufacturing industry – the world’s 11th largest – beyond the internal combustion engine era into the design and production of electric vehicles and the lithium-ion batteries and charging stations that will power them.
