    Abstract: A lighting control system for a vehicle includes a controller configured to be disposed at a vehicle so as to connect with or communicate with at least one light of the vehicle. The controller, responsive to at least one input, adjusts a color of the at least one light of the vehicle and an intensity of the at least one light of the vehicle. The input may include one or more of (i) a driver attentiveness input and (ii) a driver age input, and optionally a time of day input, an ambient light input, a weather condition input, and/or a navigation input.

    Abstract: A vehicular control system for a vehicle includes a plurality of sensors. Responsive to data processing, the vehicular control system determines respective speeds of the determined vehicles and respective directions of travel of the determined vehicles, and determines respective influence values for the determined vehicles based on determined potential hazards to the equipped vehicle presented by the respective determined vehicles. The determined respective influence value for each determined vehicle is weighted according to direction and/or magnitude of a speed vector of that determined vehicle. The weighted determined respective influence values for the determined vehicles are ranked according to their hazard potential. A path of travel is selected from the plurality of determined paths responsive at least in part to the rankings of the weighted determined respective influence values. The system at least in part controls vehicle steering to guide the equipped vehicle along the selected path of travel.

    Abstract: A driver assistance system of a vehicle includes at least one vehicle environmental sensor having a field of sensing exterior of the vehicle. A sensor data processor is operable to process sensor data captured by the sensor. When the vehicle is operated, the sensor data processor receives captured sensor data that is representative of the vehicle surrounding scene. The sensor data processor fuses the sensor data with map data to generate an annotated master map of the scene captured by the sensor. A display device is operable to display information for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. The displayed information is derived at least in part from the annotated master map and is displayed for viewing by the driver of the vehicle who is executing a maneuver of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A vision system for a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras and a processor operable to process image data captured by the cameras to generate images derived from image data captured by at least some of the cameras. The processor is operable to generate a three dimensional vehicle representation. A display screen, viewable by a driver of the vehicle, is operable to display the generated images and the three dimensional vehicle representation as would be viewed from a virtual camera viewpoint exterior to and higher than the vehicle itself. A portion of the three dimensional vehicle representation is rendered as displayed to be at least partially transparent to enable viewing at the display screen of an object present exterior of the vehicle that would otherwise be partially hidden by non-transparent display of that portion of the three dimensional vehicle representation.

    Abstract: A vehicular control system for a vehicle includes a plurality of sensors. Responsive to data processing, the vehicular control system is operable to determine respective speeds of the determined vehicles and respective directions of travel of the determined vehicles, and determines respective influence values for the determined vehicles based on a determined potential hazard to the equipped vehicle presented by the determined vehicles. A plurality of paths for the equipped vehicle is determined, and the determined plurality of paths is assessed by a decision algorithm that ranks each of the determined paths based on likelihood of collision of the equipped vehicle along a respective determined path with one or more determined vehicles. A path of travel is selected from the plurality of determined paths responsive at least in part to the rankings of the paths and to the determined types of vehicles along one or more of the determined paths.

    Abstract: A vision system for a vehicle includes a camera disposed at the vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. The camera includes an RGB photosensor array having multiple rows of photosensing elements and multiple columns of photosensing elements. An in-line dithering algorithm is applied to individual lines of photosensing elements of the photosensor array in order to reduce at least one of color data transmission and color data processing. The in-line dithering algorithm includes at least one of an in-row dithering algorithm that is applied to individual rows of photosensing elements of the photosensor array and an in-column dithering algorithm that is applied to individual columns of photosensing elements of the photosensor array. The in-line dithering algorithm may be operable to determine most significant bits and least significant bits of color data of photosensing elements of the photosensor array.

    Abstract: A multi-camera vision system of a vehicle includes at least four cameras disposed at a vehicle and having respective fields of view exterior of the vehicle. Each of the cameras is operable to capture image data representative of the respective field of view. Captured image data is compressed at the respective camera and the compressed image data is communicated to a control unit. The control unit includes an image processor operable to process image data. The image processor processes image data frame by frame using an indirect context model and without time wise dependency.

    Abstract: A vehicular automated parking system includes a plurality of cameras viewing exterior of the vehicle. While the vehicle is traveling along the road, the vehicular automated parking system operates in a parking space locating mode to determine available parking spaces at least in part via processing, at an electronic control unit having an image processor, of image data captured by at least one camera of the plurality of cameras. The vehicular automated parking system fuses the determined available parking spaces with map data to generate an annotated map for display at the video display screen for viewing by the driver of the vehicle to assist the driver in selecting a parking space from the determined available parking spaces. After selection of the parking space, the vehicular automated parking system parks the equipped vehicle in the selected parking space.
