    The car would model the direction that pedestrians were turning their head, since people who intend to cross the street (including jaywalkers) turn their head to look for oncoming cars.

In my fucking dreams. Some guy today stopped just before the sidewalk in one of those lanes where the right turner merges to take out his phone. That's not logical ! The other day somebody stopped before crossing, stared at their phone and then started walking again without looking up. That wasn't even at an intersection.
