Abstract:
Systems and methods are directed towards the interpretation of driver intent relative to other vehicles. A computing device within a vehicle includes at least one camera, an output device, and circuitry. The computing device captures images of an area outside of the vehicle. The computing device identifies another vehicle relative to the vehicle. The computing device determines a driving intent of the driver, such as based on an analysis images or audio of the driver. The computing device determines whether the vehicle is moving within a threshold time after determining the driving intent. If the vehicle is moving within the threshold time, then the driver is identified as engaging in aggressive driving towards the other vehicle. The computing device may also provide information to the other vehicle indicating the driving intent of the driver.
