Systems and methods communicate an intent of an autonomous vehicle externally. In one implementation, traffic object(s) approaching an intersection towards which an autonomous vehicle autonomously navigates along a travel path is tracked. A position of the traffic object(s) relative to the intersection is determined when the autonomous vehicle is stopped at the intersection. A perceived possession of a right of way of the autonomous vehicle to enter the intersection is generated based on the position of the traffic object(s). A decision of whether to direct the autonomous vehicle into the intersection is generated based on the perceived possession of the right of way. An intent icon linked to an action of the autonomous vehicle is generated. The action is correlated with the decision of whether to direct the autonomous vehicle into the intersection. The intent icon is presented to an environment external to the autonomous vehicle.
