Zusammenfassung:A vehicular sensor system of the present invention includes a plurality of bumper sensors mounted to a front bumper of a vehicle in a spaced relationship in a widthwise direction thereof, and a controller for controlling operations of two actuators for lifting up a trailing end of a hood responsive to output signals from the bumper sensors. The controller converts accelerations, detected by the respective bumper sensors, into deformation speeds, with the deformation speeds, associated with the sensors which are adjacent to one another, being added. When an added deformation speed exceeds a predetermined threshold level, the controller controls the actuators to be initiated.
