    Abstract: A vehicular cabin monitoring system includes an air sensing device disposed at a vehicular component disposed within an interior cabin of a vehicle. The air sensing device samples air at the vehicular component and generates sensor data representative of a sample of air at the vehicular component. The system, via processing of captured sensor data, determines a level of air contaminant within the interior cabin that is indicative of (i) a level of contaminant particulates and/or (ii) a level of contaminant gas. The system generates an alert to a driver of the vehicle and adjusts operation of a vehicular system responsive to determination that the level of air contaminant is greater than a threshold level.

    Abstract: A vehicular trailering assist system includes a forward-viewing camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing at least forward of the vehicle and a rear backup camera disposed at the vehicle and viewing at least a portion of a trailer hitched to the vehicle. With the vehicle operating in a calibration state, the vehicular trailering assist system, via processing of image data captured by the rear backup camera, determines a portion of the trailer hitched to the vehicle and determines a trailer collision angle. With the trailer hitched to the vehicle and with the vehicle not operating in the calibration state, the vehicular trailering assist system, via processing of image data captured by the rear backup camera, determines a current angle of the trailer relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and determines whether the determined current trailer angle is within a threshold amount of the determined trailer collision angle.

    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.

    Abstract: A vehicular sensing system, responsive to processing image data captured by a forward-viewing camera at a first time, generates a first set of lane geometries representing curvature and location of a portion of at least one traffic lane of a road respective to a first position of the equipped vehicle at the first time. The vehicular sensing system, via processing motion data representative of motion of the equipped vehicle, tracks the first set of lane geometries. Based on processing of the motion data and the tracked first set of lane geometries, the vehicular sensing system generates a second set of lane geometries representing the curvature and location of the portion of the at least one traffic lane respective to a second position of the vehicle at a second time. The vehicular sensing system determines a blind zone based on the generated second set of lane geometries.

    Abstract: A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an event camera disposed in a cabin of a vehicle and viewing the head of a driver of the vehicle. The dynamic range of the event camera is at least 100 dB. The response time of the event camera is less than 10,000 microseconds. The event camera has a quantum efficiency of at least 15% for near-infrared light having a wavelength of 940 nm. The system, responsive to processing of data output by the event camera, monitors the driver of the vehicle. Responsive at least in part (a) to monitoring of the driver of the vehicle and (b) to vehicle kinematic data provided to the ECU, at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) a driver attentiveness alert is generated, (ii) a driver drowsiness alert is generated, (iii) steering of the vehicle is controlled and (iv) braking of the vehicle is controlled.

    Abstract: A vehicular cabin monitoring system includes at least one interior-viewing camera viewing at least a driver and a passenger of a vehicle. Image data captured by the at least one interior-viewing camera is transferred to an electronic control unit (ECU) and is processed at the ECU. Based at least in part on processing at the ECU of image data captured by the at least one interior-viewing camera, the vehicular cabin monitoring system monitors the driver of the vehicle. Based at least in part on processing at the ECU of image data captured by the at least one interior-viewing camera, the system monitors the passenger of the vehicle. Based at least in part on monitoring of the driver, the system classifies the driver as being at least one selected from the group consisting of overloaded, attentive and distracted.

    Abstract: A vehicular camera includes an imaging array sensor that includes one million photosensors arranged in rows and columns and a microlens array. The microlens array includes a plurality of microlenses disposed at the imaging array sensor. Each individual microlens of the plurality of microlenses includes a respective plurality of refractive indices. The microlens array is disposed at the imaging array sensor so that light incident at the vehicular camera passes through the microlens array to be incident at the imaging array sensor. Light incident at and passing through each individual microlens of the microlens array is incident at a respective sub-array of the photosensors of the imaging array sensor. The vehicular camera is configured to be disposed at a vehicle equipped with a vehicular vision system.

    Abstract: A vehicular electronic control unit (ECU) includes a housing that accommodates a printed circuit board (PCB). At least one heat-generating electronic component is disposed on the PCB. The ECU includes a plurality of heat dissipating fins disposed at an exterior side of the housing. The heat dissipating fins are disposed within a fluid chamber at the housing, and heat is dissipated from the heat dissipating fins via coolant that flows within the fluid chamber along and between individual heat dissipating fins of the plurality of heat dissipating fins. An inlet port provides flow of coolant into the fluid chamber, and an outlet port provides flow of coolant out of the fluid chamber. The heat dissipating fins provide a multi-channel flow path for coolant within the fluid chamber between the inlet port and the outlet port.

    Abstract: A vehicular navigation system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) having electronic circuitry and associated software. The ECU is operable to determine routes for a vehicle equipped with the vehicular navigation system based at least in part on map data. The ECU, to route the vehicle from a starting location to an ending location, determines one or more candidate routes from the starting location to the ending location. For each determined candidate route, the ECU determines a respective energy efficiency for travel of the vehicle along the respective determined candidate route based at least in part on environmental temperature data for at least one location along the respective determined candidate route. The ECU selects one of the determined candidate routes for the vehicle to travel along based on the determined respective energy efficiency for travel of the vehicle along each determined candidate route.
