Abstract
A vehicular imaging system suitable for use in a vehicle includes at least one imaging array sensor and a control. The imaging array sensor has a field of view directed outwardly from the vehicle and is operable to sense at least one object or light source of interest external to the vehicle. The control is responsive to an output of the imaging array sensor to determine a distance between the imaging array sensor and the object or light source of interest external to the vehicle sensed by the imaging array sensor. The control is operable to control at least one accessory of the vehicle in response to a closest one of the objects or light sources of interest external to the vehicle sensed by the imaging array sensor. The control may be operable to control a headlamp of the vehicle in response to the determined distance.
