VEHICULAR CONTROL SYSTEM USING A CAMERA AND LIDAR SENSOR TO DETECT OTHER VEHICLES

A vehicular control system includes a control and a plurality of sensors that include at least a camera and a 3D point-cloud LIDAR sensor. The control is operable to process captured image data to determine presence of another vehicle and to process captured 3D point-cloud LIDAR data to determine presence of the other vehicle. The control, responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data and captured 3D point-cloud LIDAR data, determines presence of the other vehicle when the other vehicle is (i) in the field of view of the camera and/or (ii) in the field of sensing of the 3D point-cloud LIDAR sensor, and responsive to determination of the other vehicle, the control at least in part controls at least one vehicle function of the equipped vehicle.
