A vehicular sensing system includes a camera that views at least a portion of an interior cabin of a vehicle and an exterior-sensing sensor that senses exterior of the vehicle. Via processing of image data captured by the camera, the system determines an occupant action of an occupant of the vehicle that is indicative of an intention of the occupant to open a door of the vehicle. Via processing of sensor data captured by the exterior-sensing sensor, the system determines that an object exterior of the vehicle is likely to intersect a swing path of the door between a closed position and an opened position. The system may generate an alert to the occupant of the vehicle based on determining that the object is likely to intersect the swing path of the door.
