Original Abstract Submitted

an autonomous vehicle control device configured to determine a control input for causing an automatic driving to travel along a target trajectory determined based on an estimated current location of the vehicle by repeatedly performing a predetermined calculation, wherein the controller estimates the current location by correcting the location of the vehicle on the map data based on the relative location of the vehicle on the traveling road, and adjusts a predetermined parameter in the predetermined calculation in accordance with the amount of correction so that the number of repeated calculations is reduced when it is determined that the estimation of the current location is not accurate based on the amount of correction of the location at that time.
