Original Abstract Submitted

The vehicle control program is executed in a VCIB connected between DS and VP that performs autonomous driving in accordance with a command from DS. VCIB includes a memory in which a program including a predetermined API defined for each signal is stored, and a processor that controls VP in response to an instruction from DS by executing the program. VCIB has a manual/automatic mode. VP can accept a manual driving operation in the manual mode, and can accept a command from DS in the automated mode. The vehicle control program causes the processor to execute a step of executing a process for starting the limp-home travel by ICM that differs from VCIB on the condition that communication between DS and VCIB is impossible, and a step of switching from the automated mode to the manual mode on the condition that the limp-home travel by ICM is started.
