Patent attributes
A vehicular control system includes a camera and a control having an image processor that processes captured image data to determine an object present in the forward field of view of the camera. The control is operable to determine an estimated time to arrival of another vehicle at a location that is in the projected path of travel of the equipped vehicle. Responsive to the received information being indicative of the state of a signal light at an intersection being green and responsive at least in part to (i) determination that the estimated time to arrival of the other vehicle is at least a threshold amount and (ii) determination that an object is not present in the projected path of travel of the equipped vehicle, the control may determine that it is safe for the equipped vehicle to proceed along the projected path of travel.
