Abstract:
In an automated driving control device ( 100 ), a vehicle control device includes a recognition unit ( 130 ) that is configured to recognize a peripheral situation of a vehicle and a driving control unit ( 120, 160 ) that is configured to automatically perform control of acceleration/deceleration and steering of the vehicle on the basis of the peripheral situation recognized by the recognition unit, in which the recognition unit determines whether or not a traffic participant present in an advancement direction of the vehicle is aware of the presence of the vehicle, and, in a case in which the traffic participant advancing in the same direction as that of the vehicle is recognized in the advancement direction of the vehicle by the recognition unit, and it is determined by the recognition unit that the traffic participant is not aware of the presence of the vehicle, the driving control unit causes the vehicle to run behind the traffic participant and, in a case in which a period of the running behind the traffic participant becomes equal to or longer than a reference, causes the vehicle to run in a predetermined form.

Claim (Index 4):
The vehicle control device according to  claim 3 , wherein the driving control unit increases a shortest distance between the vehicle and the traffic participant as the period at which the distance between the vehicle and the traffic participant is increased and decreased is further shortened.
