A driver's intention and future movements of a proximal vehicle, whether an automated vehicle or a human driven vehicle, are predicted by a system which includes an intersection component, a camera system, a boundary component, and a prediction component. The intersection component determines that a parent vehicle is near an intersection. The camera system captures an image of the proximal vehicle. The boundary component identifies a sub-portion of the image containing a turn signal indicator on the proximal vehicle. The prediction component predicts future movement of the proximal vehicle through the intersection based on a state of the turn signal indicator and optionally the body language (gaze direction, head orientation etc.) of the driver of the proximal vehicle as seen in the image, previous motion of the proximal vehicle, and length of time that the proximal vehicle has been at the intersection. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communication are possible.
