Abstract
A vehicle control device is configured such that if, during an automatic driving mode in which a vehicle is automatically driven regardless of operations by a driver, such automatic driving mode is temporarily stopped by a prescribed operation by the driver and a normal driving mode in which the vehicle is driven in accordance with the operations of the driver is entered, and thereafter the automatic driving mode is returned to from the normal driving mode, specific control is implemented in the post-return automatic driving mode, such control being determined on the basis of the driving state of the vehicle during the normal driving mode before the return.
