Abstract
A vehicle control method includes: detecting a blocking object that is at a position at which the blocking object obstructs travel of the tracked vehicle in a traffic lane in which the tracked vehicle is traveling and that hides at least part of the traffic lane from the sensor, and an oncoming vehicle traveling in a direction toward the tracked vehicle in an oncoming lane opposite from the traffic lane; and slowing down the vehicle when the oncoming vehicle slows down.
