Abstract
A vehicle controller includes a first estimator, a second estimator, and a first controller. The first estimator is configured to obtain first estimation information with regard to a target vehicle that stops in a pick-up area where a plurality of vehicles is allowed to stop waiting for a user to get therein. The first estimation information indicates whether the user of the target vehicle is carrying a large piece of luggage having a size equal to or greater than a predetermined size. The second estimator is configured to obtain second estimation information indicating an other-vehicle stopping status. The other-vehicle stopping status indicates a status of another vehicle stopping around the target vehicle. The first controller is configured to cause the other vehicle to move on the basis of the first estimation information obtained by the first estimator and the second estimation information obtained by the second estimator.
