Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a first unit configured to generate a target trajectory based on a travel plan of the vehicle, and a second unit configured to execute vehicle travel control such that the vehicle follows the target trajectory. During the automated driving, the first unit transmits automated driving information to the second unit. The system includes a memory device in which driving environment information is stored, and a processor for controlling a travel control amount. During the automated driving, the processor executes preventive safety control for intervening in the travel control amount so as to prevent or avoid a collision between the vehicle and an obstacle based on the driving environment information. In the preventive safety control, the processor changes an intervention degree to the travel control amount based on the automated driving information.
