VEHICULAR CONTROL SYSTEM
DRIVE
October 31, 2024
A vehicular control system includes a forward-sensing sensor and a rearward-sensing sensor disposed at an equipped vehicle. The system, as the equipped vehicle travels along a traffic lane of a road, and responsive to processing of forward sensor data captured by the forward-sensing sensor, determines a condition ahead of the equipped vehicle. The system, via processing of rearward sensor data captured by the rearward-sensing sensor, determines an overtaking vehicle rearward of the equipped vehicle and overtaking the equipped vehicle to pass the equipped vehicle. Based at least in part on the determined condition and the determined overtaking vehicle, the system determines a safeness of a passing maneuver by the overtaking vehicle. Responsive to determination that it is not safe for the overtaking vehicle to pass the equipped vehicle, the system indicates to the overtaking vehicle that it is not safe for the overtaking vehicle to pass the equipped vehicle.
