A vehicular driving assist system includes a forward-viewing camera and a side object detection system disposed at a vehicle equipped with the vehicular driving assist system. The side object detection system includes a driver side-sensing radar sensor and a passenger side-sensing radar sensor. Image data captured by the forward-viewing camera is processed to detect traffic lane markers for a lane departure warning system of the equipped vehicle. Responsive at least in part to one of the radar sensors detecting a vehicle travelling in the same direction as the equipped vehicle and approaching from rearward of the equipped vehicle in a traffic lane that is to the respective side of the traffic lane that the equipped vehicle is travelling in, the vehicular driving assist system alerts a driver of the equipped vehicle of presence of the detected vehicle regardless of turn signal usage by the driver of the equipped vehicle.

A vehicle and a control method of the vehicle obtains information on a target object in a blind spot based on a result of object detection by the vehicle itself and a result of object detection received from another vehicle. In particular, to the vehicle performs a safe driving control based on the obtained information on the target object. The method of controlling the vehicle may include: setting a blind spot around the vehicle based on the detection result of the object around the vehicle, and performing the safe driving control of the vehicle based on the degree of risk of the target object in the blind spot.

An autonomous vehicle control system is provided. The control system may include a plurality of cameras to acquire a plurality of images of an area in a vicinity of a vehicle; and at least one processing device configured to: recognize a curve to be navigated based on map data and vehicle position information; determine an initial target velocity for the vehicle based on at least one characteristic of the curve as reflected in the map data; adjust a velocity of the vehicle to the initial target velocity; determine, based on the plurality of images, observed characteristics of the curve; determine an updated target velocity based on the observed characteristics of the curve; and adjust the velocity of the vehicle to the updated target velocity.

A system for a vehicle is provided. The system may include a memory and at least one processor configured to: access a plurality of images of a forward-facing view from the vehicle, the plurality of images corresponding to image data obtained by a camera; determine from the images a first lane marking on a first side of a lane, the lane through which the vehicle can navigate, and a second lane marking on a second side of the lane opposite of the first side; navigate the vehicle autonomously relatively centered between the first and second lane markings; determine from the plurality of images that an object is on the first side or the second side of the lane, and the object beyond the first or second lane marking; and navigate the vehicle autonomously to travel over a driving path that is offset from a center of the lane.

An apparatus/vehicle for warning a driver of a vehicle or vehicle/trailer (V-VT) about a stationary object (SO): a) a sensor device having a detection area (DA) including a side DA arranged laterally from a vehicle side (VS) and extending front to rear, in the direction of a longitudinal centerline of the (V-VT), and detecting the SO within the DA; b) a control device to evaluate the sensor signals as to the SO detected within the DA and define a dynamically alterable warning area (WA) that is no more than the side DA; c) a warning device to generate a warning signal if the sensor device detects the object(s) in the WA; d) the control device, on detection of the SO within the side DA and on detection of the (V-VT) turning toward the VS on which the side DA is situated, to assign a triangular cross-section to the WA.

Embodiments for using vehicular collaboration for vehicular blind spot detection by a processor. A collaboration of images, capturing one or more non-visible areas to an occupant of a vehicle, may be received from a plurality of collaborative vehicles in substantially close proximity to the vehicle for aiding in determining an object in the one or more non-visible areas.

Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, a method for navigating a user vehicle may include acquiring, using at least one image capture device, a plurality of images of an area in a vicinity of the user vehicle; determining from the plurality of images a first lane constraint on a first side of the user vehicle and a second lane constraint on a second side of the user vehicle opposite to the first side of the user vehicle; enabling the user vehicle to pass a target vehicle if the target vehicle is determined to be in a lane different from the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling; and causing the user vehicle to abort the pass before completion of the pass, if the target vehicle is determined to be entering the lane in which the user vehicle is traveling.

A vehicular control system includes a plurality of cameras, at least one radar sensor, and a control having at least one processor. Captured image data and sensed radar data are provided to and processed at the control to detect objects present exteriorly of the vehicle. The control receives data relevant to a geographic location of the vehicle. The vehicular control system wirelessly communicates information that is relevant to the geographic location of the vehicle to a remote receiver. The information wirelessly communicated to the remote receiver is derived, at least in part, from image data captured by at least a forward-viewing camera. The vehicular control system, based at least in part on processing at the control of at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) captured image data and (ii) captured radar data, detects another vehicle that is present exterior of the equipped vehicle.
