Abstract:

A vehicle control device includes: an unregistered-user-face-image acquiring unit that acquires an unregistered-user-face-image when an unregistered-user-getting-on recognizing unit recognizes that an unregistered user gets on the vehicle, the unregistered-user-face-image being a face image of the unregistered user; and a vehicle entry control unit that sets vehicle to a first entry-enabled-state when a matching degree between a user-candidate-face-image and the unregistered-user-face-image is equal to or higher than a first determination level, after the unregistered-user-getting-on recognizing unit recognizes that the unregistered user gets on the vehicle until a predetermined time elapses, the user-candidate-face-image being acquired by a user-candidate-face-image acquiring unit.
