Patent attributes
A vehicular control system includes a sensor, a control, and a communication system. A projected path of travel of the vehicle is determined at least in part by processing of captured sensor data. The control determines an estimated time to arrival of another vehicle at a location that is in the projected path of travel of the equipped vehicle. The projected path of travel of the vehicle may include (i) a turn by the vehicle across a traffic lane along which the other vehicle is traveling or (ii) a turn by the vehicle into a traffic lane along which the other vehicle is traveling. Responsive at least in part to determination that the vehicle will arrive at the location at least a threshold period of time before the estimated time to arrival of the other vehicle at the location elapses, the control determines that it is safe for the vehicle to proceed.
