Abstract
A control system for a vehicle includes a route information detector, which detects route information for the vehicle, and behavior control system, which is controlled by the route information detector and which controls the behavior of the vehicle. The control system also includes a means for detecting the accuracy of the detection of the route information, and a changing controller which changes the control of the behavior control system based on the accuracy of the detection of the route information. In this case, the behavior control system can be a transmission, a suspension system, a brake system, a steering system, an engine, or an auto drive control system. The behavior control system is controlled by control patterns that can be changed by a changing controller.
