Abstract
A vehicular control system includes a forward sensing sensor, a rearward sensing sensor and a forward viewing camera disposed at a vehicle. The forward and rearward sensing sensors each have an antenna array that emits a beam forward or rearward of the vehicle. An ECU includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the camera. The ECU, responsive at least in part to processing by the image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines presence of snow and/or a driving condition at the vehicle. The ECU may adjust the beam emitted by the antenna array of the forward sensing sensor and/or the rearward sensing sensor responsive to determination of snow and/or the driving condition at the vehicle. The control may adjust power of the beam and/or a beam pattern of the beam responsive to determination of snow and/or the driving condition at the vehicle.
