Abstract

Provided is a feature such that the opportunity to cancel travel control can be reduced by seamlessly switching between travel modes in combination with a plurality of functions. A travel control device has: a first mode which causes a vehicle to travel according to the control target set on the basis of an object outside the vehicle; and a second mode which causes the vehicle to travel according to the control target set irrespective of an object outside the vehicle. If it is impossible to set the control target on the basis of the object outside the vehicle during traveling in the first mode, the travel mode is shifted to the second mode. If it is possible to set the control target on the basis of the object outside the vehicle during traveling in the second mode, the travel mode is shifted to the first mode.
