Systems, methods and/or computer program products for improving autonomous vehicle operation by enabling communication between the autonomous vehicles and BCI systems publishing signals from nearby pedestrians. Wearable BCI devices worn by pedestrians analyze brainwave signals and classify the brainwave signals in order to filter out signals that are unrelated to crossing the street or the directionality of travel by the pedestrian. BCI devices publish, or broadcast brain wave signals related to crossing the street or directionality of travel to the surrounding area where autonomous vehicle receive and process the brainwave signals being published. The autonomous vehicles predict movements of nearby pedestrians based on the intended direction of travel signified by the collected brainwave signals, and the autonomous vehicles select driving actions in response to the anticipated movements of nearby pedestrians.
