Abstract
A control device for a vehicle includes a predictor and a controller. The predictor is configured to predict, on the basis of change information, whether or not the vehicle will collide with a frontward obstacle, on the condition that a brake operation by a driver has been performed. The change information is information regarding a change in a friction coefficient of a road surface frontward of the vehicle. The controller is configured to control brake power of the vehicle on the basis of the change information, on the condition that a prediction is made that the vehicle will collide with the obstacle.
