Abstract
A vehicular sensing system includes at least one MIMO radar sensor disposed at the vehicle and sensing exterior and forward of the vehicle. The at least one MIMO radar sensor includes multiple transmitting antennas and multiple receiving antennas. The transmitting antennas transmit radar signals and the receiving antennas receive radar signals. Radar data captured by the at least one MIMO radar sensor is provided to an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU includes a processor and, responsive at least in part to processing at the ECU of provided captured radar data and vehicle motion information, determines different types of surfaces sensed by the at least one MIMO radar sensor. Responsive at least in part to processing at the ECU of provided captured radar data, the vehicular sensing system provides an output for at least one driving assist system.
