Abstract

A control device has a lane change function to execute lane change control of changing a lane in which a moving object travels. In a case where a lane change function is enabled, a travel control unit of the control device restricts, in response to it being estimated that another moving object is present in a specific region in which accuracy of detecting an object by an external sensor is relatively lower, execution of the lane change control. The travel control unit releases, in response to a state in which it is estimated that the other moving object is present in the specific region being eliminated after the execution of the lane change control is restricted, restriction placed on the lane change control, and disables the lane change function in response to the state continuing for a predetermined time after the execution of the lane change control is restricted.
