Claim 4:
5. The vehicle controller according to claim 1, wherein the processor calculates, as the motion value, an average of vehicle speeds or accelerations of the sensed at least one non-host vehicle, and determines that the congestion relief condition is satisfied, when the average of the vehicle speeds is kept at or above a predetermined speed threshold for a predetermined time or more or when the average of the accelerations is at or above a predetermined acceleration threshold, and wherein (a) the first and second threshold values are different values for one or both of the predetermined speed threshold and the predetermined time when the motion value is the average of the vehicle speeds of the sensed at least one non-host vehicle, and (b) the first and second threshold values are different values for the predetermined acceleration threshold when the motion value is the average of the vehicle accelerations of the sensed at least one non-host vehicle.
