1. A method of identifying adversarial behavior directed to an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
identifying, with a pedestrian detection system in communication with a vehicle controller, a pedestrian within proximity of the autonomous vehicle;
tracking the pedestrian with the pedestrian tracking system;
determining, with the pedestrian tracking system, if the pedestrian is intending to cross in front of the autonomous vehicle;
if the pedestrian tracking system determines that the pedestrian is not intending to cross in front of the autonomous vehicle, continuing tracking of the pedestrian with the pedestrian tracking system; and
if the pedestrian tracking system determines that the pedestrian is intending to cross in front of the autonomous vehicle, determining, with an adversarial intent algorithm, if the pedestrian is exhibiting any adversarial behavior.
