Abstract
When executing the autonomous lane change control of lane change of the subject vehicle from the subject vehicle lane in which the subject vehicle travels to adjacent lane, the autonomous lane change control is executed so as to accelerate the lateral speed of the subject vehicle in the subject vehicle lane and thereafter decelerate the lateral speed in the subject vehicle lane. As a result, it takes longer for the driver of the following vehicle to confirm the lateral movement of the preceding subject vehicle during the lane change of the subject vehicle from the start of the lane change than a lane change in which the lateral speed is decelerated in the adjacent lane. Therefore, it becomes easier to recognize the lane change.
