detects a potential pedestrian or bicyclist based on size, profile, and \
motion of 
the detected pedestrian or bicyclist. However, a pedestrian or bicyclist\
 may not 
be detected depending on the conditions, including the surrounding brigh\
tness 
and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the potential detected pedes\
trian or 
bicyclist, preventing the system from operating or engaging.
