To provide a vehicle control system that is capable of planning a trajectory that can ensure more visibility and enables safe traveling when an invisible range of a sensor exists. A vehicle control system that plans a target trajectory of a vehicle based on recognition information from an external environment sensor, the vehicle control system including a recognizing unit that recognizes an object at a periphery of the vehicle based on the recognition information; and a trajectory planning unit that plans the target trajectory such that an actual detection range of the external environment sensor becomes wide when the recognizing unit recognizes the object.

Vehicle control system, and vehicle control method

A vehicle control device that autonomously controls a vehicle so as not to cause rapid deceleration that leads to a deterioration in ride quality. The vehicle control device controls first and second deceleration, means that reduce a speed at a deceleration rate large than a deceleration rate of the first deceleration means. The vehicle control device includes a blind spot area detecting unit that detects a blind spot area of a sensor that recognizes an external environment, and a blind spot object estimating unit that estimates a blind spot object that is a virtual moving body hidden in the blind spot area. When a vehicle approaches the blind spot area at a speed reduced by the first deceleration means, the vehicle is decelerated by the second deceleration means when a type of a moving body detected by the sensor is different from a type of the blind spot object.
