Abstract

A vehicular safety system includes a plurality of vehicular cameras disposed at a vehicle. Image data captured by a forward-viewing vehicular camera of the plurality of vehicular cameras is processed by the vehicular safety system for headlamp control and for lane departure warning and/or object detection. At least one other sensing system of the vehicle is operable to capture sensor data. Responsive at least in part to processing by the vehicular safety system of captured image data and captured sensor data, a potential collision involving the vehicle is determined. Responsive to determination of the potential collision involving the vehicle, a safety feature of the vehicle changes its condition. If actual collision does not occur, the safety feature returns to its condition that existed prior to determination of the potential collision.
