Vehicle control device for setting vehicle offset spacing

Abstract:

If an external environment recognition unit recognizes another vehicle that is positioned along a travel lane, an offset setting unit sets an offset amount in a direction of separating a host vehicle from the other vehicle. The offset setting unit sets the offset amount (predetermined amount) to be smaller in a case where the external environment recognition unit identifies the other vehicle as a streetcar, than the offset amount (predetermined amount) in a case where the external environment recognition unit identifies the other vehicle as an vehicle other than the streetcar.
