Abstract
A controller of a vehicle according to one aspect is a controller of a vehicle including: a driving source; a driving wheel; a friction clutch that transmits torque corresponding to an engagement amount of the friction clutch; a clutch actuator that changes the engagement amount of the friction clutch; and an acceleration operation sensor. The controller includes processing circuitry configured to: determine whether or not the friction clutch is in an engaged state; when it is determined that the friction clutch is not in the engaged state, control the clutch actuator such that the engagement amount of the friction clutch becomes a value corresponding to the acceleration operation amount received from the acceleration operation sensor; and control the driving source such that output torque of the driving source becomes a value corresponding to the engagement amount or a value corresponding to a parameter corresponding to the engagement amount.
