VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Abstract:

A vehicle control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding environment of a vehicle, a setter configured to set a first risk area in a surrounding area of the vehicle on the basis of a recognition result of the recognizer, and a controller configured to control at least one of a speed and steering of the vehicle. The setter sets the first risk area so that the first risk area includes an area between the moving object and a first end of a crosswalk where the moving object is scheduled to arrive in the crosswalk when the moving object is entering the crosswalk which is provided in front of the vehicle and where the vehicle is scheduled to pass on the basis of the recognition result of the recognizer. The controller prevents the vehicle from entering the first risk area when a first predetermined condition is satisfied.
