Abstract
A vehicle controller includes a memory configured to store map information including information on a predetermined area used in autonomous driving control of a vehicle; and a processor configured to: refer to the map information to identify an autonomous-driving practicable point at which a planned travel route from the current position of the vehicle outside the predetermined area to a destination of the vehicle enters the predetermined area, calculate a manual-driving section length from the current position of the vehicle to the autonomous-driving practicable point along the planned travel route, and notify the calculated manual-driving section length to a driver of the vehicle via a notification device provided in the interior of the vehicle.
