Publication number: 20240046782Abstract: A vehicle control device mountable on a vehicle includes a warning device that warns a current driver of the vehicle, and a control system including a processor and a memory that are communicably coupled. The control system obtains, a numerical value indicating an acceleration operation and/or a deceleration operation for each past driver of the vehicle, and the numerical value as past operation data. When an occupant other than the current driver matches any past driver, the control system sets the past operation data of the any past driver as reference data. The control system obtains a numerical value indicating an acceleration operation and/or a deceleration operation by the current driver as current operation data, and controls the warning device to warn the current driver when the current operation data deviates from the reference data by an amount more than a warning threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventor: Satoshi ODAKURA
