1. A vehicular parking assist system, the vehicular parking assist system comprising:
a plurality of sensors disposed at a vehicle equipped with the vehicular parking assist system and sensing exterior of the vehicle, the plurality of sensors capturing sensor data;
an electronic control unit (ECU) comprising electronic circuitry and associated software;
wherein the electronic circuitry of the ECU comprises a processor for processing sensor data captured by the plurality of sensors;
wherein the vehicular parking assist system, via processing at the ECU of sensor data captured by the plurality of sensors, and while the vehicle is conducting a parking maneuver, detects an object sensed by at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors;
wherein the vehicular parking assist system, while the vehicle is conducting the parking maneuver, tracks location of the detected object relative to the vehicle until the detected object leaves a field of sensing of the at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors;
wherein the vehicular parking assist system, after the detected object leaves the field of sensing of the at least one sensor while the vehicle is conducting the parking maneuver, predicts location of the detected object relative to the vehicle;
wherein the vehicular parking assist system, upon completion of the parking maneuver, determines that the detected object is hazardous based on the predicted location of the detected object relative to the vehicle; and
wherein the vehicular parking assist system, responsive to determining that the detected object is hazardous, restricts opening of a door of the vehicle.
