Abstract
A system for operating a vehicle includes an object-detector and a controller-circuit. The object-detector is used to track an object traveling on a roadway traveled by a host-vehicle. The controller-circuit is in communication with the object-detector. The controller-circuit is configured to track a position of the object, and determine a classification of the object in accordance with a signal received from the object-detector. The classification includes a car and a bicycle. The controller-circuit is configured to track the car a first-distance after the car turns off the roadway, track the bicycle a second-distance after the bicycle turns off the roadway, where the second-distance is greater than the first-distance, and operate the host-vehicle in accordance with the position of the object.
