Abstract
A vehicle control device includes an actuation unit that actuates an anomaly control switch that acknowledges execution of safety control, which improves safety during driving of a vehicle, upon detection of an occupant in an anomalous state from a monitoring result of a state of the occupant of the vehicle. The actuation unit causes the anomaly control switch to be actuated to allow the occupant to recognize a control content of the safety control. The vehicle control device further includes an operation acknowledgement unit that acknowledges operation of the anomaly control switch and a controller that executes the safety control when the operation acknowledgement unit acknowledges the operation of the anomaly control switch.
