    Abstract: A vision system for a vehicle includes a control and smart eye glasses worn by a driver of the vehicle. The smart eye glasses include a driver monitoring camera that has a field of view that encompasses at least one eye of the driver when wearing the smart eye glasses. The control includes an image processor that processes image data captured by the driver monitoring camera to determine drowsiness of the driver. Responsive to determination that the driver is drowsy, the control communicates a signal to a portable device in the vehicle and the portable device in the vehicle generates an alert to the driver.

    Abstract: A communication system for vehicles includes a first communication device disposed at a first vehicle and a second communication device disposed at a second vehicle. The first communication device wirelessly transmits data indicative of a predicted path of travel of the first vehicle, and the second communication device receives the transmitted data from the first communication device. An ECU of the second vehicle processes data received from the first communication device and data indicative of a predicted path of travel of the second vehicle to determine a potential collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle during a turning maneuver of the first vehicle toward the second vehicle. Responsive to determination of potential collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle, the ECU controls braking and/or steering of the second vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicular vision system and method includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view interior or exterior of the vehicle. The camera is operable to wirelessly transmit image data captured by the camera. A display is disposed in the vehicle and is operable to display video images derived from image data captured by the camera and wirelessly transmitted by the camera. When operating in a setup mode, the camera wirelessly communicates with a portable device that configures the camera (i) for connection to a vehicular Wi-Fi hotspot of the vehicle and (ii) for operation of the camera with a control of the vehicle, whereby the display displays video images derived from the captured image data received at the control.

    Abstract: A collision avoidance system for a vehicle includes a communication device disposed at a carrier exterior and remote from the vehicle. The communication device is operable to communicate information regarding location and motion of the communication device carried by the carrier relative to the vehicle. A receiver receives a communication from the communication device, and a processor processes information communicated by the communication device. The processor, responsive to processing communicated information, determines the location and motion of the communication device relative to the vehicle. A side sensing device is disposed at a side of the vehicle and operable to capture data, which is processed to determine approach of the carrier to the vehicle from rearward of the vehicle. Data captured by the side sensing device and information communicated by the communication device are processed by the processor to determine existence of a potential collision between the carrier and the vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicular control system includes a camera, a non-vision sensor and a control having at least one data processor. The camera is disposed at a vehicle and has a field of view at least forward of the vehicle. The non-vision sensor is disposed at the vehicle and has a field of sensing at least forward of the vehicle. The control, responsive at least in part to processing at the control of captured image data captured sensor data, determines a fault of the camera or of the non-vision sensor. Responsive to determination of the fault of the camera or of the non-vision sensor, the control wirelessly communicates an alert to a remote processor that is located remote from the vehicle and that is not part of the vehicle. Responsive to receipt of the communicated alert, the remote processor at least in part assumes control of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A vehicle monitoring system includes a central processor operable to receive data from multiple vehicles, with each of the multiple vehicles being equipped with a plurality of vision sensors, a plurality of non-vision sensors, and an ECU. The central processor is operable to wirelessly receive, from each of the multiple vehicles, vehicle data and environment data. Responsive to vehicle data and environment data received from the multiple vehicles, the central processor determines if one or more of the vehicles is at or approaching a hazardous condition. Responsive to the determination that one or more of the vehicles is a threatened vehicle at a potentially hazardous condition, the central monitoring system at least one of (i) actuates an alert of the threatened vehicle to alert a driver of that vehicle of the determined hazardous condition and (ii) controls a vehicle system of the threatened vehicle to mitigate the determined hazardous condition.

    Abstract: A control system for a vehicle includes an odor sensor disposed at a vehicle and operable to sense odors exterior of the vehicle. A controller is operable to control an external air intake actuator of the vehicle. The controller receives an input from the odor sensor and, responsive to the controller determining that a sensed odor is above a threshold odor level, the controller actuates the external air intake actuator to close the external air intake. The controller, responsive to actuation of a user input and a global positioning system of the vehicle, may save a geographical location as a bad odor zone and may actuate the external air intake actuator as the vehicle approaches the bad odor zone during subsequent drives of the vehicle along that road.

    Abstract: A communication system for a vehicle includes a communication device disposed in the vehicle. Responsive to the communication device receiving an input from a vehicle system indicative of a potential service need, the communication device requests an input from the driver of the vehicle pertaining to a desired characteristic of a service provider that can address the potential service need. Responsive to the communication device receiving the input from the driver, the communication system determines a plurality of service providers that (i) can address the potential service need and (ii) has the desired characteristic. The communication device communicates a list of potential service providers to the driver and, responsive to a selection by the driver of a selected service provider, the communication system sets a navigation system of the vehicle to the selected service provider.
