Abstract

A vehicle control device includes: an angle sensor configured to detect a rotation angle of a steering system of a vehicle; an actuator mounted on the vehicle; and a control device configured to perform a vehicle control by controlling the actuator based on the detection result of the angle sensor. At a time the angle sensor has failed, the control device is configured to limit the vehicle control at a time an estimation angle error obtained based on a failure time of the angle sensor and the rotation speed of the steering system is not smaller than a predetermined reference value and not to limit the vehicle control at a time the estimation angle error is smaller than the reference value.
