Vehicle control device and method based on user-requested driving force

Abstract:

A vehicle control device is equipped with a travel control unit which, in the case that a user-requested driving force exceeds a system-required driving force in a state in which a user is not in contact with an operating element, performs a travel control on the basis of a limited driving force obtained by applying a limit to the user-requested driving force, whereas in the case that the user-requested driving force exceeds the system-required driving force in a state in which the user is in contact with the operating element, performs the travel control on the basis of the user-requested driving force without applying the limit to the user-requested driving force.
