1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a controller of a local vehicle, data from a remote vehicle that indicates a location and direction of travel of a remote vehicle;
determining, by the controller, a roadway path of travel of the remote vehicle using map data and the data received from the remote vehicle;
determining, by the controller, a roadway path of travel of the local vehicle using the map data and data indicative of a location and direction of travel of the local vehicle;
determining, by the controller, whether the roadway path of travel of the local vehicle and the roadway path of travel of the remote vehicle intersect; and
providing, by the controller, an alert, in response to determining that the roadway path of travel of the local vehicle and the roadway path of travel of the remote vehicle intersect.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a controller of a local vehicle receives data from a remote vehicle that indicates a location and direction of travel of a remote vehicle. The controller determines a roadway path of travel of the remote vehicle using map data and the data received from the remote vehicle. The controller determines a roadway path of travel of the local vehicle using the map data and data indicative of a location and direction of travel of the local vehicle. The controller also determines whether the roadway path of travel of the local vehicle and the roadway path of travel of the remote vehicle intersect. The controller further provides an alert, in response to determining that the roadway path of travel of the local vehicle and the roadway path of travel of the remote vehicle intersect.
