A tracking system for semi-autonomous or autonomous operation of a host vehicle is configured to detect and monitor an object. The tracking system includes an object detection device and a controller. The object detection device is mounted to the host vehicle, and is configured to detect and monitor the object, output a first detection signal indicative of the object being detected, and output a second detection signal indicative of the object not being detected. The controller is configured to receive and associate the first detection signal to a terrain slope in a common moment in time, and receive and associate the second detection signal to a change in terrain slope in a succeeding moment in time. The controller outputs a command signal causing the host vehicle to slow down upon receipt of the second signal and the change in terrain slope, both occurring in the succeeding moment in time.
