A vehicular airbag control system includes a forward-viewing camera and a radar sensor disposed at a vehicle. The vehicular airbag control system, responsive to processing of image data captured by the forward-viewing camera, detects an object present exterior of the vehicle and estimates mass of the detected object. The vehicular airbag control system determines speed of the detected object relative to the vehicle based at least in part on processing of radar data captured by the radar sensor. The vehicular airbag control system determines severity of potential collision between the vehicle and the detected object based at least in part on the estimated mass of the detected object and the determined speed of the detected object relative to the vehicle. The vehicular airbag control system inhibits deployment of an airbag of the vehicle based at least in part on the determined severity of potential collision.
