Original Abstract Submitted
an autonomous driving control device includes a steering determination unit that determines whether a driver has operated a steering unit while driving with an actuator controlled in a first control mode, an operation speed calculation unit that calculates at least one of a deviation speed, which is the change rate of deviation between a target steering angle during autonomous driving and an actual steering angle, and a steering speed, which is the change rate of the actual steering angle, and a control mode switching unit that, when it is determined that the driver has operated the steering unit, changes an instruction value to be output to the actuator from a first target control amount in the first control mode to a second target control amount in the second control mode at a change rate corresponding to at least one of the deviation speed and the steering speed described above.
