Abstract
A vehicle control system capable of ensuring safety at a low cost even when a control device fails, includes a first control device that implements at least two automatic driving-related functions based on information from external sensors and/or information from a map database, a second control device that implements fewer automatic driving-related functions than the first control device based on the information from the sensors and/or the map database, and a vehicle motion control device that automatically controls a driving state of a host vehicle based on a function planned by the first or second control device including: a backup determination unit that determines whether the future function planned by the first or second control device is backed up by the second control device; and an interface that notifies a driver that system responsibility is switched to the driver, when the backup is not available.
