Abstract

An autonomous driving system includes: an information acquisition device configured to acquire driving environment information indicating driving environment for a vehicle; and a lane change control device configured to control lane change of the vehicle based on the driving environment information. When determining that the lane change can be started at a standard timing, the lane change control device performs delay processing that delays an actual start timing of the lane change from the standard timing. The lane change control device variably sets a delay time from the standard timing to the actual start timing according to the driving environment.
