Abstract
In a driving force control device, a driving force is controlled based on an override driving force characteristic specifying a target acceleration according to a vehicle speed, an accelerator pedal position, and a traveling resistance to a vehicle, a longitudinal acceleration at a fully closed accelerator pedal position is higher in an override driving force characteristic than in a manual-driving-mode driving force characteristic, and a graph representing a relation between the accelerator pedal position and the longitudinal acceleration in the override driving force characteristic and a graph representing a relation between the accelerator pedal position and the longitudinal acceleration in the manual-driving-mode driving force characteristic intersect at a specific accelerator pedal position different from a fully closed position and a fully opened position.
