Abstract
A vehicular driving assist system includes a plurality of radar sensors disposed at a vehicle. Each radar sensor senses exterior of the vehicle. Based on determination that the vehicle is moving from a parking space and toward a road, the system processes sensor data captured by a subset of radar sensors of the plurality of radar sensors, where the subset of radar sensors sense toward the road. At least in part via processing sensor data captured by the subset of radar sensors, the system detects presence of an object approaching the vehicle and the system generates an alert.
