Vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and storage medium

Abstract:

A vehicle control device includes a recognition unit that recognizes a surrounding situation of a vehicle, and a driving control unit that controls one or both of steering or acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle based on the surrounding situation recognized by the recognition unit. The driving control unit determines whether or not an occupant is riding in the vehicle, and differentiates a road on which the vehicle is caused to travel, between a case where it is determined that the occupant is riding in the vehicle and a case where it is determined that the occupant is not riding in the vehicle.
