1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- detecting an active turn signal indicator on a target vehicle;
determining whether a collision is possible between a parent vehicle and the target vehicle;
in response to determining that a collision is possible, sending a vehicle-to-vehicle probe request to the target vehicle to determine an intended turning maneuver of the target vehicle;
receiving a wireless communication from the target vehicle indicating the intended turning maneuver of the target vehicle; and
determining a maneuver for the parent vehicle or a timing for the maneuver based at least in-part on the intended turning maneuver.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a vehicle may include a turn signal status component, communication component, and a maneuver component. The turn signal status component detects an active turn signal indicator on a target vehicle. The communication component receives a wireless communication indicating an intended turning maneuver of the target vehicle. The maneuver component determines a maneuver for the parent vehicle or a timing for the maneuver based at least in-part on the intended turning maneuver.

10. A system comprising:
-
a turn signal status component configured to detect an active turn signal indicator on a target vehicle; a path component configured to determine whether a collision is possible between a parent vehicle and the target vehicle; a communication component configured to; in response to the path component determining that a collision is possible, send a vehicle-to-vehicle probe request to the target vehicle to determine an intended turning maneuver of the target vehicle; and receive a wireless communication from the target vehicle indicating the intended turning maneuver of the target vehicle; and a maneuver component configured to determine a maneuver for the parent vehicle or a timing for the maneuver based at least in-part on the intended turning maneuver. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. Non-transitory computer readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
determine that a turn signal indicator of a parent vehicle is active; detect an active turn signal indicator on a target vehicle; determine, based on an active route of a navigation system of the parent vehicle, an intended turning maneuver of the parent vehicle; determine, based on the active turn signal indicator on the target vehicle and the intended turning maneuver of the parent vehicle, whether a collision is possible between the parent vehicle and the target vehicle; in response to determining that a collision is possible, send a vehicle-to-vehicle probe request to the target vehicle to determine an intended turning maneuver of the target vehicle; and transmit a message indicating the intended turning maneuver of the parent vehicle for receipt by proximal vehicles in response to the turn signal indicator of the parent vehicle being active. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
