Abstract
A vehicle including a vehicle behavior control device in an ECU. The vehicle behavior control device obtains a line of sight direction of the driver of the vehicle by a line of sight detecting sensor for detecting the line of sight of the driver from an eye movement of the driver. The vehicle behavior control device decides a targeted traveling direction of the vehicle based on the obtained line of sight direction of the driver. Then, the vehicle behavior control device controls a rear wheel steering device such that a front-rear direction of the vehicle faces the targeted traveling direction of the vehicle.
