Abstract
A vehicular driving assistance system includes an exterior viewing camera disposed at a vehicle and an ECU disposed at the vehicle for processing captured image data to detect an object exterior of the vehicle. The ECU performs processing tasks for multiple vehicle systems, including at least (i) a headlamp control system, (ii) a collision avoidance system and (iii) a lane departure warning system. Responsive to determination at the ECU that one of the multiple vehicle systems requires safety critical processing, (i) processing for that vehicle system is determined at the ECU to be a higher priority task, (ii) the ECU performs safety critical processing for that higher priority task and (iii) lower priority processing tasks are shifted from the ECU to other processors within the vehicle so that the ECU maximizes safety critical processing for that higher priority task.
