Abstract
To provide a vehicle control device and a vehicle control method that take into consideration individual differences and the effect of vehicle motion, not only in the horizontal direction but also in the front-rear direction, on the head movement of a passenger, and further reduce the head movement of the passenger through vehicle motion that coordinates the front-rear and horizontal directions. The vehicle control device includes: a head movement prediction model that finds, relative to the head movement of a passenger in a first direction caused by vehicle motion in the first direction, the change in the head movement of the passenger in the first direction caused by the vehicle motion in a second direction different from the first direction; and a vehicle motion generation unit that generates the vehicle motion on the basis of the head movement prediction model.
