Abstract: A vehicular sensing system includes at least one radar sensor disposed at a vehicle and capturing radar data, an electronic control unit (ECU) having a data processor for processing radar data captured by the at least one radar sensor to detect an object present exterior of the vehicle. The vehicular sensing system, during a parking maneuver of the equipped vehicle, responsive to processing by the data processor of radar data captured by the at least one radar sensor, determines the detected object is within a threshold distance of a predicted path of an exterior side mirror assembly of the vehicle. The vehicular sensing system, responsive to determining the object is within the threshold distance of the predicted path of the exterior side mirror assembly of the vehicle, automatically folds the exterior side mirror assembly toward the side of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular alert system a microphone disposed at a vehicle. The vehicular alert system, responsive to processing of audio data captured by the microphone, determines an audio event occurring external of the vehicle. The vehicular alert system, responsive to determination that the audio event occurred external of the vehicle, generates an alert for an occupant of the vehicle. The alert includes vibration of a seat of the vehicle and the alert includes a visual alert at a display screen disposed within the vehicle and viewable by a driver of the vehicle. The visual alert indicates direction toward the determined audio event.

Abstract: A vehicular windshield wiper control system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing through a windshield of the vehicle and an electronic control unit (ECU). Electronic circuitry of the ECU includes an image processor. The system, based on processing of image data captured by the camera, is operable to determine presence of a substance at an outer surface of the windshield. The system includes a windshield wiper having a rubber wiping blade and a cleaning element. The system is operable to (i) cause the rubber wiping blade to engage the windshield and/or (ii) cause the cleaning element to engage the windshield. Responsive to determining presence of the substance, the system causes the cleaning element to engage the windshield. With the rubber wiping blade and/or cleaning element engaging the outer surface of the windshield, the system moves the rubber wiping blade and/or cleaning element along the windshield.

Abstract: A vehicular occupant health monitoring system includes a heartbeat sensor disposed at a vehicle and operable to capture sensor data measuring an aspect associated with the heart of an occupant of the vehicle. A control includes a processor operable to process sensor data captured by the heartbeat sensor and provided to the control. The vehicular occupant health monitoring system, responsive to processing by the processor of sensor data captured by the heartbeat sensor, determines whether the measured aspect associated with the heart of the occupant is abnormal. The vehicular occupant health monitoring system, responsive to determining the measured aspect associated with the heart of the occupant is abnormal, controls a function of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular alert system includes a door locking control disposed at a vehicle and operable to lock a plurality of doors of the vehicle responsive to a door lock signal received from a remote transmitter carried by a user. The remote transmitter is operable to transmit a triggering signal to the door locking control. Responsive to the transmitted triggering signal, the door locking control locks the doors of the vehicle. Responsive to the transmitted triggering signal, the vehicular alert system determines whether at least one door of the vehicle is not fully closed. Responsive to determination that at least one door of the vehicle is not fully closed, the vehicular alert system generates an alert to alert the user that at least one door of the vehicle is not fully closed.

Abstract: A vehicular wheel fender heating system includes a control at the vehicle and a heating element disposed at a wheel fender of a vehicle. The control is operable to electrically activate the heating element responsive to an input. Responsive to the input, such as an input indicative of presence or accumulation of snow or ice at the wheel fender, the control electrically activates the heating element to heat the wheel fender to melt snow or ice present thereat.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a hatch opening control disposed at a vehicle and operable to open and close a hatch of the vehicle responsive to a triggering signal. The hatch includes one of a liftgate of the vehicle, a deck lid of the vehicle, a rear window of the vehicle and a rear door of the vehicle. A remote transmitter is operable to transmit the triggering signal responsive to a user input. The remote transmitter has at least two buttons. The user input includes one of (i) actuation of at least two buttons of the remote transmitter at the same time, (ii) repetitive actuation of one of the buttons at least three times with time gaps in between the actuations not exceeding a threshold time period, and (iii) actuation of at least two of the buttons in a predetermined actuation pattern.
