1. A vehicular control system, said vehicular control system comprising:
a camera disposed at a vehicle equipped with said vehicular control system, said camera having a field of view exterior of the equipped vehicle and operable to capture image data;
wherein data is wirelessly transmitted from the equipped vehicle to a data cloud;
an image processor;
wherein said image processor processes image data captured by said camera to detect objects present within the field of view of said camera;
wherein data is wirelessly received at the equipped vehicle from the data cloud concerning a potential hazard existing exterior of the equipped vehicle that has not yet been detected via processing by said image processor of image data captured by said camera; and
wherein, responsive at least in part to said vehicular control system detecting the potential hazard via said image processor processing image data captured by said camera, said vehicular control system controls at least one vehicle function of the equipped vehicle to mitigate collision with the potential hazard.
