Abstract
A vehicle control device according to an example in the present disclosure detects a monitoring target vehicle that may potentially cut into an own-lane from an adjacent lane. Further, the vehicle control device first executes an evasive preparation when sensing a predetermined relative motion of the monitoring target vehicle relative to the flow of the adjacent lane. The vehicle control device executes an evasive action to avoid interference between the monitoring target vehicle and the own-vehicle.
