Abstract
In a vehicle control system (1, 101), a control unit (15) is configured to execute a stop process by which the vehicle is parked in a prescribed stop position located within a permitted distance when it is detected that the control unit or the driver has become incapable of properly maintaining a traveling state of the vehicle, and, in executing the stop process, the control unit computes an agreement between an object (X) contained in the map information based on an estimated position of the vehicle and an object (Y) on the road detected by an external environment recognition device (6), the permitted distance being smaller when the agreement is below a prescribed agreement threshold than when the agreement is equal to or above the agreement threshold.
