Abstract
A vehicular vision system includes a camera module configured for mounting at an in-cabin portion of a windshield of a vehicle and viewing forward of the vehicle and through the windshield. The camera is electrically connected to circuitry established at the circuit board via a flexible electrical connection. Circuitry of the circuit board (i) provides electrical power to the camera via the flexible electrical connection, (ii) controls the camera via the flexible electrical connection, (iii) receives image data from the camera via the flexible electrical connection and (iv) includes a data encoder chip operable to encode captured image data. With the camera module mounted at the windshield, the circuit board is tilted at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the lens barrel of the camera. An image processor is operable to process image data captured by the camera for a driver assist system of the vehicle.
