Claim 9:
10. A vehicle control device to be applied to for a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a wheel, a driving motor which is coupled to the wheel and acceleration sensors, the vehicle control device comprising:
circuitry, coupled to the driving motor and the acceleration sensors, configured to:
determine whether (1) longitudinal acceleration and (2) lateral acceleration being experienced by the vehicle exceed first and second threshold values, respectively;
determine whether the vehicle is experiencing both (1) the longitudinal acceleration exceeding the first threshold value and (2) the lateral acceleration exceeding the second threshold value, either at a first frequency or at a second frequency lower than the first frequency; and
when the vehicle stops acceleration after determining that the vehicle is experiencing both (1) the longitudinal acceleration exceeding the first threshold value and (2) the lateral acceleration exceeding the second threshold value at the first frequency, control a regenerative torque of the driving motor to become smaller than when the vehicle stops accelerating after determining that the vehicle is experiencing both (1) the longitudinal acceleration exceeding the first threshold value and (2) the lateral acceleration exceeding the second threshold value at the second frequency.
