Vehicular vision system with console video display and mirror video display for exterior viewing cameras

A vehicular vision system, the vehicular vision system comprising:

• an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed at a vehicle equipped with the vehicular vision system, wherein the ECU comprises electronic circuitry and associated software;
• a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle;
• wherein the plurality of cameras comprises (i) a rear backup camera, (ii) a left-side sideward viewing camera at a left side of the vehicle, (iii) a right-side sideward viewing camera at a right side of the vehicle and (iv) a rearward viewing camera having a different rearward view than the rear backup camera;
• wherein each camera of the plurality of cameras captures image data and provides captured image data to the ECU;
• wherein the electronic circuitry of the ECU comprises an image processor operable to process image data captured by the plurality of cameras;
• a video display screen disposed in the vehicle and viewable by a driver of the vehicle;
• wherein the video display screen is disposed at a center console of the vehicle;
• wherein the ECU is operable to provide to the video display screen video images derived from image data captured by at least some cameras of the plurality of cameras, and wherein the video display screen is operable to display video images derived from video images provided by the ECU;
• a video mirror display screen disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle and viewable by the driver of the vehicle;
• wherein the ECU is operable to provide to the video mirror display screen video images derived from image data captured by at least one camera of the plurality of cameras, and wherein the video mirror display screen is operable to display video images derived from video images provided by the ECU;
• wherein, when the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed below a threshold speed, the ECU, via processing of image data captured by at least the rearward viewing camera, generates rearward view video images and provides the rearward view video images to the video display screen;
• wherein, when the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed at or above the threshold speed, the ECU, via processing of image data captured by at least the rearward viewing camera, generates rearward view video images and provides the rearward view video images to the video mirror display screen;
• and
• wherein, during a reversing maneuver of the vehicle, the ECU, via processing of image data captured by at least (i) the rear backup camera, (ii) the left-side sideward viewing camera and (iii) the right-side sideward viewing camera, generates reverse-maneuver video images and provides the reverse-maneuver video images to the video display screen.
