Abstract: A vehicular control system includes a forward-viewing camera and a forward-sensing radar sensor disposed at a vehicle. Image data captured by the forward-viewing camera is processed at an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) and radar data captured by the forward-sensing radar sensor is processed at the ADAS ECU. As the vehicle travels along a road, and at least in part via processing at the ADAS ECU of (i) image data captured by the forward-viewing camera and (ii) radar data captured by the forward-sensing radar sensor, the ADAS ECU determines presence of a pothole or road debris or a speed bump ahead of the vehicle. Responsive to communication of the determined presence of the pothole or road debris or speed bump to another ECU of the vehicle, at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) the vehicle decelerates to mitigate impact and (ii) the vehicle is steered to avoid impact.
