Abstract: A vehicle includes a sideslip preventing function of preventing a sideslip of the vehicle by separately adjusting a longitudinal force applied to each of the wheels. A controller controls the vehicle based on requests input from a driver assistance device, thereby causing the vehicle to travel autonomously. The controller calculates wheel lateral force request values based on the requests input from the driver assistance device. The wheel lateral force request values are request values of lateral forces acting on the respective wheels. The controller, when a behavior of the vehicle is in an oversteer state in a case in which the sideslip preventing function is failing, limits the wheel lateral force request values for the front wheels to values less than or equal to a first lateral force limit value, which is a limit value of the lateral force that can act on the rear wheels.
