Abstract

A vehicle control device acquires a camera image obtained by capturing an image of surrounding circumstances of a vehicle, controls steering and acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle without depending on an operation of a driver of the vehicle on the basis of the camera image and map information, determines any of a plurality of driving modes including a first driving mode and a second driving mode as a driving mode of the vehicle, judges whether or not a preceding vehicle is present in front of the vehicle when it is judged that an abnormality has occurred, calculates, when it is judged that the preceding vehicle is present, a margin for the vehicle to continue traveling in the second driving mode, and causes the vehicle to continue traveling in the second driving mode for a period of time indicated based on the margin.
