Abstract
A vehicular sensing system includes a radar sensor that is operable to capture radar data. The radar sensor includes a transmitter that transmits radio signals and a receiver that receives radio signals. The radar sensor is integrated into a seat body or a seatbelt of the vehicle. Electronic circuitry of an electronic control unit includes a data processor for processing sensor data captured by the radar sensor. The vehicular sensing system, responsive to processing of sensor data captured by the radar sensor while an occupant of the vehicle occupies the seat and/or wears the seatbelt, determines a health characteristic of the occupant.
