A vehicle control system includes: a vehicle including an operation device; a first communication device; and a second communication device. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in a first area containing a position of the vehicle, the vehicle operates in an operation waiting state in which the operation device is allowed to receive an operation. In a case in which the second communication device is positioned in a second area contained in the first area and smaller than the first area, the vehicle operates in the operation waiting state. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in the first area and the second communication device is positioned in the second area, the second communication device generates a notification indicating that the vehicle is in the operation waiting state.

A control device includes a processor and a storage device storing a program for controlling an operation of the processor. The processor determines whether a vehicle is in a straight-ahead traveling state, based on a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed sensor, a steering wheel torque applied to a steering wheel, and a steering wheel angle as a rotation angle of an input shaft. The processor stores the steering wheel angle in the memory when determining that the vehicle is in the straight-ahead traveling state. The processor stores the steering wheel angle in the memory multiple times when determining that the vehicle is in the straight-ahead traveling state. The processor calculates a corrected steering angle amount from a weighted average of the steering wheel angles stored in the memory.

A vehicle wireless communication system includes: a vehicle including an output circuit; and first and second communication devices configured to wirelessly communicate with the vehicle. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in a first area including one point located inside the vehicle, the use of the vehicle is permitted. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in a second area including the one point and the second communication device is not positioned in a third area including the one point, the output circuit outputs a notification that there is a possibility of failure to carry the second communication device. In a case in which the first communication device is positioned in the second area and the second communication device is positioned in the third area, the output circuit of the vehicle does not output the notification.
