Abstract
An apparatus includes a capture device and a processor. The capture device may be configured to generate a plurality of video frames corresponding to an area outside of a vehicle. The processor may be configured to perform operations to detect objects in the video frames, detect an intersection and other vehicles at the intersection based on the objects detected in the video frames, determine a vehicle sequence for traversing the intersection and monitor the other vehicles traversing the intersection using the operations. The vehicle sequence may be determined in response to local rules. The vehicle sequence may be used to determine when the vehicle traverses the intersection.
