Abstract
A vehicle driving device includes: a clutch that is provided between a driving shaft of an engine and an input shaft of a manual transmission and that connects the driving shaft and the input shaft to each other or disconnects the driving shaft and the input shaft from each other; a detection unit that detects an obstacle that is an obstacle to traveling of a host vehicle; a collision possibility determination unit that determines a possibility of collision between the obstacle and the host vehicle based on obstacle detection information detected by the detection unit; and a collision avoidance unit that, when the collision possibility determination unit determines that there is a possibility of collision with the obstacle, performs a fuel cut of the engine even if a rotation speed of the engine is less than an idling rotation speed.
