Vehicle control system

A vehicle control system of a vehicle, comprising:

• an external recognition unit configured to detect outside environment information of the vehicle;
• a vehicle controller that is configured to calculate a relative speed between a hypothetical vehicle outside a detectable area and the vehicle when any other vehicle is not recognized in the detectable area by the external recognition unit;
• and
• a notification unit configured to determine whether or not a right turn, a left turn, or a lane change can be performed based on the relative speed calculated by the vehicle controller and notify the driver of the determination result, wherein
• when it is determined that the detectable limit distance is larger than the required detection distance, an automatic lane change of the vehicle is performed, and
• the vehicle control system is also configured to detect a plurality of objects, which are sequentially detectable from the vehicle, and, based on the objects, the detectable limit distance is set in a vicinity of a farthest object.

• a vehicle controller that is configured to calculate a relative speed between another vehicle and the vehicle when the external recognition unit recognizes the another vehicle;
• and
• a notification unit configured to determine whether or not a right turn, a left turn, or a lane change can be performed based on the relative speed calculated by the vehicle controller and notify the determination result to the driver of the vehicle, wherein
