Abstract
In a vehicle control device, environmental information is acquired which is information about an environment in which a vehicle is placed. The environmental information precludes an obstacle around the vehicle. A possibility is estimated for potential proximity of the vehicle to the obstacle. A behavior of a predicted target moving object including the vehicle and at least one moving object around the vehicle is predicted based on the estimated possibility. A responsibility is determined for a potential accident that is assumed in response to the vehicle traveling on a candidate route that the vehicle travels.
