A vehicle includes a light switch for manually operating a lighting state of a lighting device. The light switch includes a light-off position and an auto-light position for executing an auto-light process. A vehicle control system includes a first controller for executing an automated driving of the vehicle, and a second controller for controlling a lighting state of the lighting device based on a request from the first controller or operation information of the light switch. The first controller is configured to transmit an auto-light request for executing the auto-light process to the second controller during execution of the automated driving. The second controller is configured to execute the auto-light process when the auto-light request is received from the first controller in a state where the light switch is operated to the light-off position.
A vehicle control system installed on a vehicle, the vehicle capable of executing a vehicle driving control, which automatically controls at least a part of driving of the vehicle, the vehicle including a light switch for manually operating a lighting state of a lighting device installed on a body, the light switch including a light-off position in which the lighting device is always turned off, and an auto-light position to execute an auto-light process in which the lighting state of the lighting device is automatically switched according to a luminance of an external environment, the system comprising a controller configured to control the lighting state of the lighting device, and
A vehicle control system installed on a vehicle, the vehicle capable of executing vehicle driving control, which automatically controls at least a part of driving of the vehicle, the vehicle including a light switch for manually operating a lighting state of a lighting device installed on a body, the lighting device including a small lamp including a side marker lamp or a tail lamp, and a headlight, the light switch including a small-lamp-on position for constantly lighting the small lamp, and an auto-light position to execute an auto-light process in which the lighting state of the lighting device is automatically switched according to a luminance of an external environment, the system comprising a controller configured to control the lighting state of the lighting device,
A vehicle control method for controlling a lighting state of a lighting device of a vehicle, the vehicle capable of executing a vehicle driving control, which automatically controls at least a part of driving of the vehicle, the vehicle including a light switch for manually operating the lighting state of the lighting device installed on a body, the light switch including a light-off position in which the lighting device is always turned off, and an auto-light position to execute an auto-light process in which the lighting state of the lighting device is automatically switched according to a luminance of an external environment, the vehicle control method comprising,
