  • Patent number: 11235767
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a peripheral situation recognition unit (132) configured to recognize a peripheral situation of an automatic driving vehicle; a driving control unit (140, 160, (138)) configured to control one or both of steering and an acceleration or deceleration speed of the vehicle based on the peripheral situation recognized by the peripheral situation recognition unit; and a potential risk estimation unit (138) configured to estimate presence or absence and classification of a potential risk meeting with an obstacle based on classification of a target recognized by the peripheral situation recognition unit and a positional relation between the vehicle and the target. The driving control unit performs the driving control based on an estimation result of the potential risk estimation unit.
