Abstract
A vehicle control device includes: a processor configured to: determine whether or not a situation around a vehicle or a situation of a driver of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined warning condition in a case where a driving control of the vehicle is executed without the driver holding a steering wheel, notify the driver of a hands-on request for holding the steering wheel and a warning that the driver does not hold the steering wheel via a notification device when the predetermined warning condition is satisfied, determine whether or not the driver holds the steering wheel in response to an in-vehicle sensor signal from an in-vehicle sensor that detects an action of the driver, and continue the warning until the driver holds the steering wheel even if the predetermined warning condition is no longer satisfied after the hands-on request is notified.
