Abstract
A vehicular control system includes a camera that captures image data. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) for processing image data captured by the camera. The ECU, via processing by an image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines lane information of a traffic lane along a road being traveled by the equipped vehicle. The ECU determines a lane quality value that represents a confidence in the determined lane information. When the lane quality value exceeds a threshold value, and based at least in part on the determined lane information, the ECU provides a steering command to a steering system of the equipped vehicle to adjust a heading of the equipped vehicle to center the equipped vehicle within the traffic lane of the road being traveled by the equipped vehicle.
