1. A vehicular driving assistance system, the vehicular driving assistance system comprising:
an exterior viewing camera disposed at a vehicle equipped with the vehicular driving assistance system and viewing exterior of the vehicle;
wherein the exterior viewing camera comprises an imager having at least one million photosensor elements;
an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed at the vehicle;
wherein image data captured by the exterior viewing camera is provided to and is processed at the ECU;
wherein the ECU performs processing tasks for multiple vehicle systems;
wherein the vehicular driving assistance system is operable to wirelessly upload captured image data to the cloud for processing at a remote processor;
wherein the ECU, based at least in part on processing of captured image data, prioritizes processing of a plurality of tasks, and wherein the plurality of tasks comprises a higher priority task and a lower priority task, and wherein the lower priority task has a lower priority than the higher priority task;
wherein, responsive to prioritization by the ECU of the higher priority task, the vehicular driving assistance system (i) processes captured image data at the ECU for the higher priority task and (ii) uploads captured image data to the cloud for processing at the remote processor; and
wherein processing of uploaded captured image data at the remote processor comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) data negotiation, (ii) data collection, (iii) load analysis, (iv) load distribution and (v) monitoring.
