Fully autonomous vehicles must learn how to read pedestrians’ intentions
There are so many variables to take into account when it comes to pedestrians. Human drivers know this all too well. We are quite adept at recognizing whether a person intends to cross the street or is just standing by the crosswalk for no reason, we know what it means when a bicyclist gets into his or her pedaling motion, and we can gauge the pace of a jogger as they approach an intersection, anticipating whether they plan on continuing their run or if they will actually slow down.
