Abstract
A vehicular communication system includes a wireless communication sensor at a vehicle equipped with the vehicular communication system for receiving wireless communication data from remote wireless communication devices. A global positioning system is operable to determine a geographical location of the vehicle. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes electronic circuitry and associated software that includes a processor for processing wireless communication data received by the wireless communication sensor and position information determined by the global positioning system. The ECU, responsive at least in part to determination that position information determined by the global positioning system is compromised, determines, via processing the received wireless communication data, distances to a plurality of the remote wireless communication devices. The ECU, responsive to determining the distances to the plurality of the remote wireless communication devices, determines a position of the vehicle relative to the plurality of the remote wireless communication devices.
