  • Patent number: 12384401
    Abstract: A vehicular driving assist system includes (i) a forward-viewing camera disposed at a windshield of a vehicle viewing forward of the vehicle through the windshield and (ii) an in-cabin camera disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly in an interior cabin of the vehicle and viewing at least a steering wheel of the vehicle. The forward-viewing camera and the in-cabin camera are operable to capture image data. Image data captured by the forward-viewing camera is transferred from the forward-viewing camera to an electronic control unit (ECU) and is processed at the ECU for at least one advanced driver assistance system or to determine a hazardous condition ahead of the vehicle. Processing by the vehicular driving assist system of image data captured by the in-cabin camera determines that at least one hand of a driver of the vehicle is not on the steering wheel of the vehicle.
