Abstract
Provided are a vehicle control device and a computer program capable of simplifying design of state transition. An intermediate layer constituting an ECU divides a state of a lower-layer state machine for each function of a vehicle system in association with the state of the lower-layer state machine, and outputs the state to an upper-layer state machine, a state transition table of the upper-layer state machine includes, as a condition of state transition of the upper-layer state machine, a current state of a lower-layer state machine or a state to transition, and the upper-layer state machine receives the state of the lower-layer state machine input from the intermediate layer, refers to the state transition table, and outputs a signal for controlling the vehicle system.
