It'll debut later this year or in 2022. Genesis is set to launch its first-ever all-electric SUV later this year and according to a report from February, it is going to be called GV60. It will share its underpinnings with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and a number of future EVs from the Hyundai-Kia-Genesis family. We’ve only seen it under heavy camouflage so far but a new rendering is here to provide a more detailed early look. This GV60 virtual drawing comes from our friends and colleagues at Motor.es and shows a very plausible preview of the zero-emission crossover. It takes the shape of a low-slung hatch-like crossover with a sporty profile and a sloped roofline.

AirAsia’s food delivery service launches in Singapore with 80 restaurants on board
SINGAPORE - Malaysian budget carrier AirAsia has launched its food delivery service in Singapore as it continues to seek alternative sources of income outside of the battered aviation sector. Its airasia food platform will initially feature about 80 restaurants, including Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant and No Signboard Seafood. About 300 other restaurants are in the process of being brought on board, AirAsia said on Tuesday (March 2). The platform will charge restaurants 15 per cent commission per delivery, instead of going ahead with plans for a zero-commission model. The rate is still lower than those offered by the three major food delivery operators - GrabFood, foodpanda and Deliveroo. AirAsia said the lower commission would in turn lead to lower charges for customers. AirAsia also said it had recruited about 500 delivery riders, and aims to double that number by the third quarter of the year. Riders will deliver to a maximum distance of 20km away from listed restaurants. … [Read more...] about AirAsia’s food delivery service launches in Singapore with 80 restaurants on board
Asia rides Wall Street surge as investors place hopes on US stimulus
TOKYO: Asian shares extended their rally on Wednesday in the wake of Wall Street's massive rebound as the U.S. Congress appeared closer to passing a US$2 trillion stimulus package to mitigate the economic blow from the coronavirus pandemic. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 1.7per cent with Australian shares jumping 3.4per cent and South Korean shares gaining 3.5per cent. Japan's Nikkei surged 4.8per cent. "Japanese shares have been bolstered by aggressive buying from the Bank of Japan and pension money this week. That has prompted hedge funds to cover their short positions," said Norihiro Fujito, chief investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. On Tuesday, MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe rallied 8.39per cent, the largest single-day gain since the wild swings seen during the height of the global financial crisis in October 2008.

The Future of Vision: Augmented reality contact lenses will make you bionic
Technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives. Once a week in The Future of series, we examine innovations in important fields, from farming to transportation, and what they will mean in the years and decades to come. A decade ago, Google’s ambitions seemed unchecked: The company would design self-piloting cars through Waymo, sponsor moonbases , and even conquer death . One of the company’s plans: Smart contact lenses to measure the glucose level of your tears — and perhaps help reduce the damage caused by diabetes. “It’s still early days for this technology, but we’ve completed multiple clinical research studies, which are helping to refine our prototype,” wrote Google’s Brian Otis and Babak Parviz back in 2014. Seven years later, the company’s ego remains just as inflated, but Verily’s smart contact lenses are nowhere to be seen; the side project of Google parent Alphabet was officially abandoned in 2018. Yet smart lenses are finally becoming a reality, thanks to … [Read more...] about The Future of Vision: Augmented reality contact lenses will make you bionic
