Abstract
A trailering assist system for a vehicle includes a camera disposed at a vehicle, with the camera having a field of view rearward of the vehicle that encompasses a trailer that is being towed by the vehicle. The camera is operable to capture image data. A control of the system includes an image processor operable to process captured image data. Responsive to input of vehicle parameters and processing of captured image data by the image processor, the trailering assist system is operable to determine an estimated trailer angle and an estimated vehicle steering wheel angle. The control compares the estimated vehicle steering wheel angle to a measured or determined or actual vehicle steering wheel angle to determine an error value. The control is operable to generate an output when the error value is at or above a threshold level.
