Patent attributes
A vehicular control system includes a plurality of sensors disposed at a vehicle and sensing exterior of the vehicle. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes a processor that processes sensor data captured by the sensors. The ECU, responsive at least in part to processing of captured sensor data as the vehicle travels in a traffic lane of a multi-lane road, determines a rearward approaching vehicle rearward of the equipped vehicle that is in an adjacent traffic lane. The ECU determines a leading vehicle ahead of the equipped vehicle and traveling in the same traffic lane as the equipped vehicle. The ECU controls the equipped vehicle to accelerate the vehicle to at least match the speed of the determined rearward approaching vehicle and to maneuver into the adjacent traffic lane to pass the determined leading vehicle ahead of the determined rearward approaching vehicle.
