Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
obtaining, with at least one processor, one or more images associated with an environment surrounding an autonomous vehicle;
determining, with the at least one processor, based on the one or more images, an orientation of a head worn item of protective equipment of an operator of a vehicle in the environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle;
determining, with the at least one processor, based on the orientation of the head worn item of protective equipment, a direction of a gaze of the operator of the vehicle and a time period associated with the direction of the gaze of the operator of the vehicle;
determining, with the at least one processor, based on the direction of the gaze of the operator of the vehicle and the time period associated with the direction of the gaze of the operator of the vehicle, a predicted motion path of the vehicle; and
controlling, with the at least one processor, based on the predicted motion path of the vehicle, at least one autonomous driving operation of the autonomous vehicle.
