A vehicular vision system includes a camera module mounted at a mounting structure that is disposed at a windshield of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system. The camera module views through a light transmitting portion of the mounting structure and forward of the vehicle. The camera module includes a camera and circuitry including an image processor, with the image processor processing image data captured by the camera. With the windshield mounted at the vehicle and the camera module mounted at the mounting structure, the windshield is separable from the mounting structure so that the windshield is removable from the vehicle without removing the mounting structure from the vehicle and without affecting mounting of the camera module at the mounting structure.

A vehicular control system includes a plurality of sensors disposed at a vehicle and an electronic control unit (ECU). The vehicular control system, responsive to processing at the ECU of sensor data captured by one of the plurality of sensors, detects an object in the path of the vehicle. The object may be one selected from the group consisting of (i) a pothole, (ii) road debris, and (iii) a speed bump. The ECU, responsive to detecting the object in the path of the vehicle, provides an output to another ECU. The other ECU, responsive to receiving the output, controls two or more of (i) braking of the vehicle, (ii) steering of the vehicle, and (iii) suspension of the vehicle.

A vehicular driver assist system includes a sensor disposed at a vehicle and a display disposed at the vehicle and viewable by a driver of the vehicle. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes a processor for processing sensor data captured by the sensor to detect presence of objects in the field of view of the sensor. The vehicular driver assist system, responsive to processing by the processor of sensor data captured by the sensor, determines presence of a driver of the vehicle and determines a position of the driver's head. The vehicular driver assist system, responsive to determining the position of the driver's head, adjusts an orientation of the display based on the determined position of the driver's head to increase visibility of the display for the driver.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera module mounted at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle. The camera module includes a windshield-interfacing portion that, with the camera module mounted at the in-cabin side of the windshield, interfaces with the in-cabin side of the windshield. A thermally conductive tape is disposed at the windshield-interfacing portion. A thermally conductive connecting element thermally conductively connects to (i) the thermally conductive tape and (ii) at least one component of the camera module. When electrically operated, the at least one component generates heat at an interior portion of the camera module and heat generated by the at least one component of the camera module is dissipated at the windshield of the vehicle via the thermally conductive connecting element and the thermally conductive tape.

A vehicular vision system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system that includes electronic circuitry and associated software, a driver monitoring camera disposed at the interior rearview mirror assembly and having a field of view of a driver region in a cabin of the vehicle, and an occupant monitoring camera disposed at the interior rearview mirror assembly and having a field of view of an occupant region in the cabin of the vehicle. The electronic circuitry of the ECU includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the driver monitoring camera and the occupant monitoring camera. The ECU, via processing at the ECU of image data captured by the driver monitoring camera, determines attentiveness of a driver of the vehicle.

Multi-camera vision system integrated into interior rearview mirror

Vehicle camera assemblies comprising novel mounting interfaces. In some embodiments, the assembly may comprise a camera housing configured for being mounted to a vehicle having a plurality of protruding coupling members extending therefrom. Each of the plurality of protruding coupling members may comprise a curved surface that may, for example, define curves in two planes perpendicular to one another. The assembly may further comprise a bracket configured for being coupled with the camera housing. The bracket may comprise a plurality of clips configured to releasably receive the plurality of protruding coupling members to releasably couple the camera housing to the bracket.
