Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a vehicle control device that can recognize the surrounding situation of a vehicle and control its steering and speed accordingly. If the vehicle is changing lanes and there is another vehicle nearby, the device adjusts the range of recognition for the new lane based on the relative speed between the two vehicles. It then uses this information to control the lane change.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle control device of an embodiment includes a recognizer that recognizes a peripheral situation of a host vehicle and a driving controller that controls one or both of steering and speed of the host vehicle on the basis of a result of recognition performed by the recognizer. In a case where the host vehicle traveling in a first lane performs a lane change to a second lane adjacent to the first lane and a case where it is recognized by the recognizer that there is another vehicle in the vicinity of the host vehicle, the driving controller specifies a position of the other vehicle by changing a range to be recognized as the second lane on the basis of a relative speed between the host vehicle and the other vehicle, and executes control related to the lane change on the basis of the specified position.
