Abstract
A vehicular vision system includes a camera viewing exterior of the vehicle and capturing image data, and an electronic control unit (ECU) having an image processor for processing captured image data to detect presence of objects in the view of the camera. The ECU, responsive to processing of captured image data, determines presence of an intersection controlled by at least one stop indicator, with one stop indicator designated for the lane along which the vehicle is traveling. The ECU determines a right-of-way order of other vehicles at the intersection relative to the equipped vehicle and determines when the equipped vehicle has the right-of-way based on the determined right-of-way order. The ECU provides an indication to the driver of the equipped vehicle when the equipped vehicle has the right-of-way.
