Systems and methods for communicating a machine intent

An autonomous car determines if it has the right to proceed at an intersection by tracking other vehicles and assessing their positions. Based on this assessment, it decides whether to enter the intersection. To communicate its immediate action, or even its next turn after crossing, the car displays a special icon to the outside world.

Why it matters: Autonomous vehicle perception and decision-making AI has matured significantly since 2019, making complex 'right of way' assessments more reliable. This improves the feasibility of generating accurate external intent signals.
