Provided is a vehicle control device capable of suitably controlling the driving (autonomous driving or driving assistance) of a host vehicle when the host vehicle turns left from a side road into a main road (to merge into traffic). When the host vehicle is about to turn left into the main road, if the host vehicle recognizes that another vehicle is traveling along the main road behind the point [the intersection region of the side road and the main road] where the host vehicle enters the main road, then the host vehicle determines a risk that is associated with the other vehicle and that is dependent on the traveling position of the other vehicle, and determines whether or not to enter the main road, on the basis of the determined risk associated with the other vehicle.

Vehicle control device

A remote driving managing apparatus is provided. The remote driving managing apparatus includes: a path information acquiring unit that acquires path information indicating a path of movement to a destination of a vehicle; a time period identifying unit that, based on the path information, identifies a scheduled time period in which the vehicle is scheduled to travel through a remote driving section which is a section in which the vehicle travels by being remotely driven; and a driver selecting unit that refers to management data for managing an available remote driving time period of each of a plurality of remote drivers that are capable of remotely driving vehicles, and selects a remote driver that is available for remote driving of the vehicle during the scheduled time period identified by the time period identifying unit.

Remote driving managing apparatus, and computer readable storage medium

A travel control device for a host vehicle determines whether or not the presence of the vehicle prevents an external object, having the intension of moving from a second side lane to a first side lane, from crossing a host vehicle lane. Upon determining that the presence of the host vehicle prevents the external object from crossing the host vehicle lane, the travel control device moves the host vehicle to create a space for the external object to cross the host vehicle lane.

Vehicle, travel control device, and travel control method

If it is determined that, at a target exit of a roundabout that exists in a target route, a travel restricting event that restricts passing of a vehicle through the target exit has occurred on the basis of a peripheral travel environment detected by a peripheral environment detection unit, a route calculation device of the vehicle adds one circulation or a part of the circulation in the roundabout to the target route.

Vehicle, route calculation device, and route calculation method

A vehicle control device includes an overtaking prediction unit configured to predict an overtaking section where a host vehicle overtakes another vehicle that exists ahead of the host vehicle and in a second lane different from a first lane where the host vehicle is traveling, and a travel controller configured to perform travel control to overtake another vehicle. The travel controller performs travel control to adjust speed of the host vehicle in a case where the overtaking section predicted by the overtaking prediction unit entirely or partially overlaps a restricted section in which overtaking is restricted.
