A method for assisting in turning a vehicle, the method may include detecting or estimating that the vehicle is about to turn to a certain direction or is turning to the certain direction; sensing a relevant portion of an environment of the vehicle to provide sensed information, wherein the relevant portion of the environment is positioned at a side of the vehicle that corresponds with the certain direction; applying an artificial intelligence process on the sensed information to (i) detect objects within the relevant portion of the environment and (ii) estimate expected movement patterns of the objects within a time frame that ends with an expected completion of the turn of the vehicle; determining, given an expected trajectory of the vehicle during the turn and the expected movement patterns of the objects, whether at least one of the objects is expected to cross the trajectory of the vehicle during the turn; and responding to an outcome of the determining.
