Abstract: When an occurrence of override due to an acceleration/deceleration operation and/or a steering operation is detected by an acceleration/deceleration override detection unit and/or a steering override detection unit, a driving mode is switched by a mode switching unit to a semi-automatic driving mode in which the degree of automatic control is higher than when an occurrence of override due to the acceleration/deceleration operation and the steering operation is detected. According to this configuration, the degree of automatic control can be appropriately regulated in accordance with an override state, so a vehicular behavior not intended by the driver can be prevented. In addition, because the partial automatic control is maintained, the burden of driving can be reduced.
