Abstract
A lane marking recognition unit recognizes left and right lane markings of a subject vehicle lane in which a subject vehicle travels. A departure determination unit determines departure of a surrounding vehicle traveling in the subject vehicle lane. A continuation determination unit determines whether continuation of the autonomous travel control based on information on the lane markings is possible, when departure occurs in the surrounding vehicle, in a state where the subject vehicle travels with autonomous travel control in which a driver has no surroundings monitoring obligation. A control continuation unit continues the autonomous travel control based on the information on the lane markings, when continuation of the autonomous travel control based on the information on the lane markings is possible.
