Abstract
A vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle includes one or more processors to detect an object around the vehicle based on external environment information and generate three-dimensional object information and information on a plurality of split regions, and set a damage degree to each of the plurality of split regions depending on an estimated magnitude of damage at an estimated time of collision of the vehicle. The one or more processors record information on a plurality of host vehicle split regions, and a host vehicle damage degree set to each of the plurality of host vehicle split regions depending on an estimated magnitude of damage at an estimated time of collision of the object and control travel of the vehicle to minimize a collision damage degree corresponding to the damage degree and a product of the damage degree and the host vehicle damage degree.
