Abstract
A sensing system for a vehicle includes at least one radar sensor disposed at the vehicle and having a field of sensing exterior of the vehicle. The at least one radar sensor includes an array of multiple transmitting antennas and multiple receiving antennas. A control is responsive to the outputs of the at least one radar sensor and determines the presence of one or more other vehicles exterior the vehicle and within the field of sensing of the at least one radar sensor. Lane markers may be determined via a vision system of the equipped vehicle. The control determines range and relative lane position of a detected other vehicle relative to the equipped vehicle and determined lane markers, and the sensing system may anticipate a lane change, cut-in or merge intent of the detected other vehicle.
