Abstract
A vehicle control device which at least partially automatically performs travel control of a vehicle includes processor(s) which diagnose failure of functions related to automated driving and to continue the automated driving with the functions partially stopped when a failure is diagnosed, and a light emission unit which provides notification to a surrounding of the vehicle by light emission that the vehicle is controlled in a fallback operation. The processor(s) detect an operation state of the light emission unit, permit execution of the automated driving when the light emission unit operates normally and prohibits the automated driving when the light emission unit does not operate normally.
