Vehicular vision system using side-viewing camera

A vehicular vision system includes a side-viewing camera mounted within an exterior rearview mirror assembly attached at a side of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system. The side-viewing camera has a field of view at least sideward of the side of the equipped vehicle at which the exterior rearview mirror assembly is attached. The side-viewing camera captures an image of a scene occurring exterior of the equipped vehicle. The captured image includes an image data set representative of the exterior scene. A control includes an image processor, and the image data set is provided to the control. The control processes a reduced image data set of the image data set provided to the control to detect edges present exterior of the equipped vehicle within an area of interest of the scene occurring exterior of the equipped vehicle that is within the field of view of the side-viewing camera.

Vehicular driving assist system using forward-viewing camera

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.

Deflection control apparatus

A deflection control apparatus is provided with: a determinator configured to determine whether or not a vehicle is about to depart from a driving lane; and a controller programmed to perform a deflection control for controlling a braking apparatus to supply a fluid pressure to at least one of brake mechanisms corresponding to a front wheel and a rear wheel on a side opposite to a departure direction of the vehicle. The controller is programmed to control the braking apparatus to supply the fluid pressure to the brake mechanism that is close to a fluid pressure source, out of the brake mechanisms corresponding to the front wheel and the rear wheel on the opposite side, on condition that a motion state corresponds to a regular-use area of the braking apparatus, if it is determined that the vehicle is about to depart from the driving lane.

Vehicular control system using cameras and radar sensor

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.

An apparatus includes a video processing circuit, an audio generating circuit, and an analysis circuit. The video processing circuit may be configured to analyze a video signal to detect lane markings and to detect departure of a vehicle from a lane bounded by the lane markings. The audio generating circuit may be configured to present a lane departure warning to a driver. The analysis circuit may be configured to determine whether a lane departure detected by the video processing circuit is intentional and generate the lane departure warning in response to an unintended lane departure.
