Abstract
A vehicle control device is equipped with a state control unit adapted to perform a state transition control in which there are combined plural types of travel states in accordance with a travel control mode, and plural types of assist states in accordance with a driving assist mode. Under a sports mode (second travel state) in which a preference of the driver for manual driving is strong, as compared with a normal travel mode (first travel state), the state control unit suppresses a transition from a manual driving state (first assist state) to a normal automated driving state (second assist state) in which a level of driving assistance is high.
