Abstract
A vehicle control device can be mounted in a vehicle. A receiver receives information from a wireless device mounted in another vehicle. A determiner determines whether or not to switch an automatic steering mode to a manual steering mode on the basis of the information received by the receiver. A notifier prompts a driver of the vehicle to switch the automatic steering mode to the manual steering mode in a case where the determiner determines to switch the automatic steering mode to the manual steering mode.
