Abstract
A sensing system for a vehicle includes a control and a plurality of sensors disposed at the vehicle. The plurality of sensors includes individual sensors connected as a chain of sensors to a vehicle network. Outputs of the sensors are communicated to the control, which, responsive to the outputs of the sensors, determines presence of one or more objects exterior the vehicle and within a field of sensing of at least one of the sensors. Responsive to determination that a given sensor is the last sensor in the chain of sensors, the sensing system provides a termination configuration at that sensor.
