The general ability to understand others (and oneself) to the level of intentions etc is often referred to as Theory of Mind. Seen from the task of autonomous driving, what is needed is a strong predictive model for what other cars/drivers are going to do, based on current observations. Considering that driving is a quite more narrow space than all possible human behavior, this is hopefully[0] solvable using something close to existing approaches. 0. Otherwise I don't think self-driving cars is happening soon.
