Abstract: When a vehicle is caused to autonomously travel and is guided to a target point, if an error from a design value occurs in a position or dimensions of an external-environment sensor due to a secular change of the vehicle, a riding state, or a loading state, an error also occurs in a sensing result. Thus, positional accuracy at the target point is deteriorated. There is provided a vehicle control method of controlling a vehicle by a vehicle control device including a processor and a memory. The vehicle control method includes a step of storing route information up to a predetermined point by the vehicle control device, and a step of performing autonomous traveling based on the route information by the vehicle control device.

The vehicle control system is comprised of a shifting means that shifts a driving mode of the vehicle between a first mode in which a driving force to be generated is moderated and a second mode in which a driving force to be generated is larger than that generated under the first mode, upon exceedance of a predetermined threshold value by an index that is changed according to a change in a behavior of the vehicle resulting from an accelerating or a decelerating operation executed by the driver. The threshold value is set to a limit value of acceleration for human beings to sense a linear change in the acceleration from zero.
