Abstract
A driving control with environmental condition estimating including surrounding recognition function for recognizing a vehicle's lane and neighboring lanes and other vehicles and a function for obtaining the vehicle's state, a path generating part for generating a path based on information from the environmental condition estimating, and a vehicle control for speed and steering control for causing the vehicle to follow the path. The environmental condition estimating obtains the vehicle's position near a toll plaza, having a vehicle ahead following function for targeting a vehicle ahead. The driving control alters override threshold values serving as a determination criterion of the operation intervention for stopping the vehicle ahead following function and a path following function to a value greater than during driving in a general section with lane markings when the vehicle's own position reaches a predetermined point before the toll plaza.
