Abstract
A vehicle control system for controlling a vehicle is configured to perform automated driving by switching between a plurality of automated driving modes. The plurality of automated driving modes include: a first automated driving mode that does not require a driving operation by a human; and a second automated driving mode that requests an operation or monitoring by a human as necessary. In the first automated driving mode, the vehicle control system determines that there is human intervention when an operation state of an operating member operable by a human satisfies a first condition. In the second automated driving mode, the vehicle control system determines that there is human intervention when the operation state of the operating member satisfies a second condition. The first condition is less likely to be satisfied than the second condition.
