Abstract
A vehicle steering controller includes a shape recognizer that recognizes a shape of a road on the basis of a captured image, a steering control unit that controls steering of a vehicle on the basis of the shape of the road recognized by the shape recognizer, and a determiner that determines whether or not the shape of the road recognized by the shape recognizer is that of a transitional section between a curved road section and a linear road section. If the determination made by the determiner is negative, then the shape recognizer recognizes the shape of the road by performing an approximation using an approximation expression having a degree of one or two, otherwise the shape recognizer recognizes the shape of the road by performing an approximation using an approximation expression having a degree of three.
