Abstract

A vehicular multi-sensor system includes a plurality of vehicular cameras disposed at a vehicle and viewing exterior the vehicle. Image data captured by the vehicular cameras is provided to a central control module via respective wired connections. At least one radar sensor is disposed at the vehicle and senses exterior the vehicle. Vehicle data relating to operation of the vehicle and radar data captured by the radar sensor is provided to the central control module. During a forward driving maneuver of the vehicle, and responsive at least in part to processing of image data captured by a forward-viewing vehicular camera and radar data captured by a front radar sensor, an object present exterior of the vehicle is detected. During a backup reverse maneuver of the vehicle, video images based on image data captured by a rearward-viewing vehicular backup camera are displayed at a video display screen of the vehicle.
