Claim Text:
1. A vehicle control device comprising a controller, wherein the controller executes a driving power limiting process, in which the controller reduces a driving power output by a drive source when an accelerator operating member and a brake operating member are being operated together in comparison to when only the accelerator operating member is operated, the controller is configured to execute the driving power limiting process when a predetermined time has elapsed after a point in time at which the accelerator operating member and the brake operating member are simultaneously operated, the controller is configured, when the accelerator operating member and the brake operating member are simultaneously operated, to set a target deceleration of the vehicle based on a vehicle speed and an operation amount of the brake operating member at a time before the driving power limiting process is started, and to control the driving power during execution of the driving power limiting process such that the vehicle deceleration becomes equal to the target deceleration, the lower the vehicle speed is, the greater the target deceleration is set to be, and the greater the operation amount of the brake operating member is, the greater the target deceleration is set to be.
