Abstract
A vehicle control device is provided. The vehicle control device includes a processor that executes a program to image surroundings of a vehicle, detect a first face of a person in the surroundings with a first accuracy and while operating at a first power consumption, and determine, while operating at a second power consumption higher than the first power consumption, whether or not the first face is a face of a registered user registered in advance. If the first face is the face of the registered user, the processor executes the program to release a lock of a door. If the first face is not the face of the registered user, the processor executes the program to set a detection area as a determination prohibition area in which additional determinations of faces are not performed.
