Abstract
A vehicle includes a sensor that detects a traffic signal installed in a travel route of the own vehicle, another vehicle traveling around the own vehicle, and another mobile object around the own vehicle. After recognizing that the own vehicle has passed the traffic signal, the vehicle determines whether or not there are the other mobile object moving toward the traffic signal and the other vehicle moving beside the other mobile object toward the traffic signal. When determining that there are the other mobile object moving toward the traffic signal and the other vehicle moving beside the other mobile object toward the traffic signal, the vehicle controls the traffic signal based on a traveling state of the other vehicle.
