Abstract
A vehicle control device includes: a reaction device that applies a steering reaction force to a steering operation performed by a driver on a driver's vehicle; and a control device that executes steering reaction force control for controlling a value of the steering reaction force. The control device applies, to a steering operation, a reaction force having a reference value as a steering reaction force when a lane change of a driver's vehicle is not performed during execution of steering reaction force control. When the lane change of the driver's vehicle is performed, the control device sets the steering reaction force to be applied to the steering operation in a direction of the lane change of the driver's vehicle to a value smaller than the reference value.
