Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a plurality of zone ECUs and a central processing unit. Each zone ECU outputs a blinking timing signal for blinking a blinker installed in a vehicle on the basis of a blinking control signal received from the central processing unit. Furthermore, the zone ECUs are configured to be connected to each other via a local network, share blinking timing information of the blinker with another zone ECU via the local network, and adjust a blinking timing signal of the zone ECUs on the basis of the shared information.
