Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a preceding vehicle selector that selects a pair of preceding vehicles, a target pair recognizer that executes a pairing process of storing a distance between a first target and a second target belonging to the respective preceding vehicles as an offset, and an intervehicular distance setter that sets both of a distance between an own vehicle and a first target as an intervehicular distance when the first target and the second target are detected as a target pair, and a distance corrected based on the offset as an intervehicular distance when the first target out of the target pair is not detected. The target pair recognizer stores a history of determination parameters including at least one of changes in relative distance, relative speed, and lateral deviation amount between the first and second targets.
