Abstract
A vehicular control system includes a camera and an electronic control unit (ECU) that processes image data captured by the camera. The ECU, via processing of the image data, determines lane information of a traffic lane. The lane information includes lane boundaries. The ECU also determines presence of other vehicles on the road ahead of the equipped vehicle. The ECU, responsive to determining presence of a target vehicle ahead of the equipped vehicle, and at least in part via processing by the image data, predicts a change in velocity of the target vehicle relative to the equipped vehicle. The ECU, responsive to determining the lane information and responsive to predicting the change in velocity of the target vehicle, generates longitudinal and lateral commands for centering the vehicle within the traffic lane and maintaining a threshold distance between the equipped vehicle and the target vehicle.
