Abstract
A vehicle control system includes an on-vehicle sensor for outputting a piece of information regarding an object around an own vehicle and a piece of information regarding a travel state of the own vehicle, a driving assistant ECU which has, as a risk reduction function, at least one of a lane departure prevention function and an emergency stop function, and a switching apparatus for enabling and disabling the risk reduction function. The lane departure prevention function prevents departure of the own vehicle from a lane in which the own vehicle is travelling. The emergency stop function stops the own vehicle when a driver is suffering from an abnormal condition. In the case where the own vehicle collides with an object in a state in which the risk reduction function has been disabled by the switching apparatus, the driving assistant ECU forcedly enables the risk reduction function.
