1. A vehicular vision system, the vehicular vision system comprising:
a front camera disposed at a windshield of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system and viewing at least forward of the equipped vehicle through the windshield, the front camera capturing image data;
a side camera disposed at a side mirror of the equipped vehicle and viewing at least forward and sideward of the equipped vehicle, the side camera capturing image data;
wherein the front camera comprises a CMOS imaging array, and wherein the CMOS imaging array of the front camera comprises at least one million photosensors arranged in rows and columns;
wherein the side camera comprises a CMOS imaging array, and wherein the CMOS imaging array of the side camera comprises at least one million photosensors arranged in rows and columns;
an electronic control unit (ECU) comprising electronic circuitry and associated software;
wherein the electronic circuitry of the ECU comprises an image processor for processing image data captured by the front camera and image data captured by the side camera;
wherein the vehicular vision system, via processing at the ECU of image data captured by the front camera, determines a traffic lane along which the equipped vehicle is traveling;
wherein the vehicular vision system detects a leading vehicle traveling in front of the equipped vehicle in the traffic lane along which the equipped vehicle is traveling; and
wherein, responsive to determination of an intent of the equipped vehicle to change from the traffic lane along which the equipped vehicle is traveling to an adjacent traffic lane that is adjacent to the traffic lane along which the equipped vehicle is traveling, the vehicular vision system, via processing at the ECU of image data captured by the side camera, detects an oncoming vehicle traveling in the adjacent traffic lane.
