Patent attributes
A vehicular control system includes a forward viewing camera and an image processor operable to process image data captured by the forward viewing camera. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, a traffic lane of the road along which the equipped vehicle is traveling is determined and another vehicle present on the road along which the equipped vehicle is traveling and forward of the equipped vehicle is detected. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, the vehicular control system determines that the detected other vehicle is travelling in a traffic lane to the left of the determined traffic lane along which the equipped vehicle is traveling. A speed control system controls speed of the equipped vehicle at least in part responsive to (a) processing of captured image data and (b) map data relevant to a current geographic location of the equipped vehicle.
