Abstract
A driving control method is performed to execute a lane-change control for controlling a host vehicle to autonomously change lanes from a first lane to an adjacent second lane using a processor of a driving control device that controls vehicle speed and steering of the host vehicle traveling in the first lane in an autonomous driving mode. The processor determines that the lane-change control can be executed upon determining that the other vehicle has been detected in a detection zone of the second lane, based on a detection result of a sensor. The processor determines that the lane-change control cannot be executed upon determining that the other has not been detected within the detection zone of the second lane. The processor outputs information regarding whether the lane-change control can be executed.
