Abstract
A vehicular control system includes a plurality of cameras, at least one radar sensor, and a control having at least one processor. Captured image data and sensed radar data are provided to and processed at the control to detect objects present exteriorly of the vehicle. The control receives data relevant to a geographic location of the vehicle. The vehicular control system wirelessly communicates information that is relevant to the geographic location of the vehicle to a remote receiver. The information wirelessly communicated to the remote receiver is derived, at least in part, from image data captured by at least a forward-viewing camera. The vehicular control system, based at least in part on processing at the control of at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) captured image data and (ii) captured radar data, detects another vehicle that is present exterior of the equipped vehicle.
