Abstract
A vehicle controller includes a target position recognition unit configured to recognize a target position, a parking route generation unit configured to generate a parking route, and an automatic steering unit configured to automatically operate a steering device. The parking route generation unit generates a first route and a second route. The first route is a parking route to a temporary target position that is obtained by laterally moving the target position toward inside of the parking route in a turning direction. The second route is a parking route to the target position from a designated position in the middle of the first route. The automatic steering unit automatically operates the steering device to cause the subject vehicle to follow the first route until the subject vehicle reaches the designated position and to follow the second route from the designated position until the subject vehicle reaches the target position.
