German law allows self-driving cars
Self driven cars to be allowed in Germany
Berlin - Muslimchronicle
Germany has passed a law to allow its automotive industry to test self-driving cars. The upper house of its Parliament recently approved a legislation setting out the conditions under which these cars could take to German roads.
Under the law, first mooted by Chancellor Angela Merkel last year, a driver must be sitting behind the wheel at all times ready to take back control if prompted to do so by the autonomous vehicle.
The new legislation allows them to road-test vehicles in which drivers will be allowed to take their hands off the wheel and their eyes off the road to browse the web or check emails while the vehicle handles steering or stopping autonomously.
The legislation requires that a black box record the journey underway, logging whether the human driver or the car’s self-piloting system was in charge at all times during driving. This will be crucial for deciding on blame for accidents.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
