1. A vehicular driving assist system, said vehicular driving assist system comprising:
a plurality of vehicle cameras disposed at a vehicle and having respective fields of view exterior of the vehicle, wherein said plurality of vehicle cameras includes a rear backup camera disposed at a rear portion of the vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle;
at least one trailer camera disposed at a trailer hitched to the vehicle and having a respective field of view exterior of the trailer;
an image processor operable to process image data captured by said plurality of vehicle cameras and by said at least one trailer camera;
wherein, responsive to processing of image data captured by said plurality of vehicle cameras and by said at least one trailer camera during a backing up maneuver of the trailer hitched to the vehicle, said vehicular driving assist system determines objects rearward of the trailer that are present in the field of view of said at least one trailer camera;
a display screen disposed in the vehicle for viewing by a driver of the vehicle, wherein said display screen displays video images derived from image data captured by at least one camera selected from the group consisting of (i) said plurality of vehicle cameras and (ii) said at least one trailer camera;
wherein said vehicular driving assist system determines a reversing path for the vehicle and trailer to follow to assist the driver in backing up the trailer;
wherein said vehicular driving assist system generates a graphic overlay at said display screen overlaying the displayed video images, the graphic overlay indicating the determined reversing path for the driver to follow in backing up the trailer;
wherein, during the backing up maneuver of the trailer hitched to the vehicle along the determined reversing path, said vehicular driving assist system determines an object rearward of the trailer; and
wherein, during the backing up maneuver of the trailer hitched to the vehicle along the determined reversing path, and responsive to determination of the object rearward of the trailer via processing of image data captured by at least said at least one trailer camera, said vehicular driving assist system (i) determines an adjusted reversing path to avoid the object and (ii) adjusts the graphic overlay to indicate the adjusted reversing path of the vehicle and the trailer for the driver to follow in backing up the trailer.
