Abstract

A vehicle control system includes a first electric motor that causes a vehicle to travel, a second electric motor that generates power by using an output of a power source and starts the power source, a power storage device that stores the power generated by the second electric motor and supplies the power to the first electric motor, a monitoring device that monitors a failure state of the vehicle, and a switch that switches the vehicle to travel from the first electric motor to the second electric motor. In a case of a predetermined driving state in which the monitoring device detects a failure of the first electric motor and a driving force is obtained from the second electric motor, the monitoring device controls the switch to switch the driving force for causing the vehicle to travel from the first electric motor to the second electric motor.
