Researchers have developed a new method for predicting pedestrian crossing intentions using egocentric vision and vision-language models (VLMs). By framing the task as visual question answering, they fine-tuned VLMs to significantly outperform existing transformer-based models. The inclusion of contextual cues like eye gaze and ego motion further enhanced prediction accuracy, establishing a new state-of-the-art for this safety-critical application. AI
