  • Patent number: 11225249
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a recognizer that is configured to recognize an object around a subject vehicle, a driving controller that is configured to control a speed or steering of the subject vehicle, and a predictor that is configured to predict that a predetermined vehicle will move to a front of the subject vehicle on a subject lane. The driving controller is configured to perform a behavior control in a case where it is predicted that the predetermined vehicle will move to the front of the subject vehicle on the subject lane and limits the vehicle behavior control in a case where it is predicted that the predetermined vehicle does not move to the front of the subject vehicle on the subject lane as compared with a case where it is predicted that the vehicle will move to the front of the subject vehicle on the subject lane.

  • Patent number: 11167761
    Abstract: A vehicle control device (100) includes a recognizer (130) that recognizes a situation occurring near an own-vehicle, and a driving controller (140, 160) that controls acceleration/deceleration and steering of the own-vehicle on the basis of a result of the recognition of the recognizer. When performing travel control according to a behavior of a preceding vehicle that is traveling in front of the own-vehicle such that the own-vehicle follows the preceding vehicle to pass through an intersection, the driving controller does not perform following of the preceding vehicle if a turning start point of the preceding vehicle does not match a turning start point in a route predicted for the own-vehicle to pass through the intersection in a scheduled direction or if a turning angle of the preceding vehicle does not match a turning angle in the predicted route.
