Abstract
During automated driving of a vehicle, an automated driving system searches for a driver's acceptable range being a range of an automated driving parameter accepted by a driver of the vehicle. A positive response is the driver's response when the automated driving parameter is within the driver's acceptable range. A negative response is the driver's response when the automated driving parameter is beyond the driver's acceptable range. The automated driving system executes: parameter change processing that actively changes the automated driving parameter; response determination processing that determines whether the driver's response to the parameter change processing is the positive response or the negative response based on a result of detection by a driver response detection device; and search processing that repeatedly executes the parameter change processing and the response determination processing to search for the driver's acceptable range.
