Abstract
A control device detects a curve in front of a vehicle based on the vehicle position and map information, and a driver's accelerator pedal operation is detected based on a sensor output. When a curve is detected in front of the vehicle and it is detected that the driver has released the accelerator pedal, a speed ratio of the automatic transmission is modified to generate a deceleration force.
