Embodiments are directed towards the interpretation of driver intent and communication of that intent with autonomous vehicles at a traffic intersection. A computing device that sits on the dashboard of a vehicle includes at least one camera, an output device, and circuitry. The computing device captures first images of the driver in the vehicle and second images of the traffic intersection. The computing device identifies another vehicle at or approaching the intersection based on an analysis of the second images. The computing device determines an attention direction and hand movement of the driver based on an analysis of the first images to determine a driving intent of the driver. The computing device provides information to the other vehicle indicating the driving intent of the driver. The computing device may also obtain the driving intent of the other vehicle and provide information to the driver indicating the other vehicle's intent.
