Abstract
In a vehicle control device, a target motion estimation unit estimates a motion for a target area representing an area where no other vehicle is traveling on a lane in the future based on motions of other vehicles traveling on the lane to which a course is to be changed. A control amount setting unit sets a control amount of an own vehicle required in order to make the motion of the target area and a motion of the own vehicle match. A motion control unit controls the motion of the own vehicle according to the set control amount.
