  • Publication number: 20200108794
    Abstract: In a vehicle control device, an authentication success information storage unit stores, when authentication of a user by a user authentication unit is successful, authentication success information in a memory. A vehicle use permission unit permits, in a situation, the use of a vehicle by the user on condition that the authentication success information is stored in the memory; the situation is such that after authentication of the user by the user authentication unit is successful, authentication of the user by the user authentication unit is impossible when second authentication information is obtained by a second authentication information acquisition unit.
