Abstract
A vehicle controller is used for a first vehicle and includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to execute an index deriving process that derives a traveling performance index of the first vehicle, the traveling performance index being an index related to a traveling performance, an index receiving process that receives the traveling performance index of a second vehicle from the second vehicle through vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and a performance determination process that compares the traveling performance index of the second vehicle with the traveling performance index of the first vehicle to determine whether a traveling performance of the first vehicle is lower than a traveling performance of the second vehicle.
