7. A computer implemented method comprising: receiving an image of a proximal vehicle in a region near a vehicle; determining a region of the image that contains a driver of the proximal vehicle, wherein determining the region comprises determining based on a location of one or more windows of the proximal vehicle; processing image data in the region of the image that contains the driver of the proximal vehicle to detect one or more of a head orientation, a gaze direction, and a gesture of the driver; accessing a database or model that correlates one or more of the head orientation, the gaze direction, and the gesture with one or more future vehicle movements for the proximal vehicle; and determining a vehicle maneuver for the vehicle based on the one or more future vehicle movements of the proximal vehicle; wherein the database or model correlates a gesture with a current driving context, wherein the driving context comprises a stop at an intersection, an approach to an intersection, merging onto a roadway, exiting a roadway, entering a parking lot or parking spot, or exiting a parking lot or parking spot.
