Abstract
A vehicular collision avoidance system includes a forward-viewing camera, a rearward-viewing camera, a rearward-sensing radar sensor and an electronic control unit. The vehicular collision avoidance system detects vehicles present forward and/or rearward of the equipped vehicle. Responsive to at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) data processing of image data captured by the rearward-viewing camera and (ii) data processing of sensor data captured by the rearward-sensing radar sensor, the vehicular collision avoidance system determines potential of collision with the equipped vehicle by a detected other vehicle and/or determines that impact with the equipped vehicle by a detected other vehicle is imminent.
