Abstract
A vehicle controller includes a camera unit that detects driving conditions of a preceding vehicle; a re-acceleration determiner that determines based on the driving conditions of the preceding vehicle whether or not a re-acceleration state in which the preceding vehicle decelerates and then accelerates occurs; and a rotation controller that, if it is determined that the vehicle is in a re-acceleration state, maintains the engine speed of the engine not less than a lower limit.
