Abstract: A vehicle control-system includes an automated driving controller and a vehicle-side communication section. The automated driving controller executes automated driving in which at least one out of speed control or steering control of a vehicle is performed automatically, and executes automated driving in a mode from out of plural modes with differing degrees of automated driving. The vehicle-side communication section communicates with a server for managing characteristic information of a vehicle occupant. The automated driving controller controls automated driving based on the characteristic information of the vehicle occupant received from a server-side communication section using the vehicle-side communication section.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes the following components. An action plan generating unit generates an action plan of a vehicle. An automated driving control unit carries out a first driving mode in which at least one of acceleration/deceleration and steering of the vehicle is automatically controlled based on the action plan. An operation device accepts an operation performed by an occupant of the vehicle. A handover control unit instructs shifting to a second driving mode, in which the degree of automated driving is lower than in the first driving mode, when the occupant operates the operation device to instruct one or both of acceleration/deceleration and steering in the first driving mode. A restraint control unit generates an estimated path of the vehicle to be taken based on the operation and restrains shifting to the second driving mode if the estimated path contradicts the action plan.

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.
