people just overwhelmingly happy. his supporters at the huge election win that he pulled off. with more than 99% of the ballots counted this morning. his win stands at 11.49% over his main akp rival. and so people you know, i was talking to them and so many people, interestingly, you know, are excited, didn't want to go have their voices recorded. but many people saying that this marks really a turning point for istanbul and they say for the country, because this shows that mayor imamoglu could stand potentially against president erdogan if there are a number of constitutional changes or whomever he might face, whatever akp candidate as president. but people saying the economy is far and away the biggest concern and this, they hope, marks a turning point to fixing that and making their living situations easier. the long awiated arrival of self—driving cars appears to be hitting some speed bumps. it turns out they're much harder to introduce than expected. so we're seeing more hands—free driving systems on our roads instead. most major car makers offer them — but is hands—free driving safe? michelle fleury reports from new york. the road to the cars of the future is bumpier than we thought. one stop on thatjourney is hands—free driving. i think this is my ride. hello. are you cody? michelle. nice to meet you. i got to see gm's super cruise in action out on the roads of new york city. so we're turning on super cruise. we have a green indication on the wheel and we can take our hands off the wheel. tech that literally takes the driving out of your hands. it's especially nice on long road trips, you know. so that was fun seeing the system in action. but there are so many words out there at the moment, like driverless, autopilot, hands—free. and it's sowing a lot of confusion in the minds of the public. these are not self driving vehicles. these are partial driving automation systems that are intended to assist you and make some of the driving a little more convenient. new testing by the insurance institute for highway safety found that many of these hands—free systems aren't doing enough to monitor drivers�* behaviour. the findings were a little disappointing. out of the 14 systems we tested, 11 of those received poor ratings from us. a couple of miles uptown is the new york auto show, one of the industry's great display of its ideas for the future. none of the brands here earned a top rating. only one got an acceptable score. the lexus team—mate. growing concerns over these systems led to this exchange with the head of america's travel safety regulator. if it's only designed to be operated in a certain type of environment, it should be limited to those environments. to raise awareness general motors has launched a public education campaign. the us car giant wants to make it clear to drivers what is and isn't allowed when driving hands free. we want to gain their trust and their confidence in the system, so we don't want to outpace them to where they don't trust the technology. the technology is meant to support the driver and prevent car crashes and injuries. an ambition that won't be realised if the humans behind the wheel become distracted. michelle fleury, bbc news, new york. mehmet kerem coban is from soas at the university of london. what do these results tell us? an what do these results tell us? in unexpected probable defeat of president ed or gan�*s party. it seems the local election as a reaction to the economic policy. —— president erdogan. the economy, an important factor in these elections. what is holding back the economy? it is these elections. what is holding back the economy?— these elections. what is holding back the economy? it is a very long histo . back the economy? it is a very long history- you — back the economy? it is a very long history- you can — back the economy? it is a very long history. you can take _ back the economy? it is a very long history. you can take it _ back the economy? it is a very long history. you can take it back -
