Abstract
The vehicle-travel control device estimates an evaluation level of the automated-driving management device from the standpoint of the vehicle-travel control device, when the vehicle is approaching a caution point indicating a point where caution needs to be exercised in driving, determines whether the vehicle-travel control device has a history of passing through the caution point with the vehicle-travel control device having received an execution prohibition instruction to prohibit execution of the travel assistance control, and when the vehicle-travel control device has received the execution prohibition instruction, and it is determined that the vehicle-travel control device does not have a history of passing through the caution point, changes an execution mode of the travel assistance control based on the evaluation level such that the travel assistance control is more likely to be executed.
