There are a few problems:

Erratic navigation and driving. 1 second earlier the car was heading straight. The car placement was firmly to the left edge of its lane. A safe driver would slow down towards the turn and use the right hand side of the road - pedestrians will recognize this "body language" of the car and understand the situation better.

In our peripheral vision, the car placement and "body language" is probably more important than ostensible signals such as the turn signal (!)

This kind of "body language" is something we learn when driving and automatic drivers should adhere to it too, so that they can be predictable and interpretable drivers.
