Abstract
The vehicle control system generates a target trajectory based on the driving environment of the vehicle, and performs vehicle travel control for controlling the vehicle to follow the target trajectory. The vehicle control system calculates a predicted trajectory or a degree of deviation between the predicted vehicle state and the target trajectory predicted from the current vehicle state of the vehicle. When the degree of deviation satisfies the notification providing condition, the vehicle control system provides a notification indicating a target behavior of the vehicle caused by the vehicle travel control to the occupant of the vehicle.
