Control device, control method and non-transitory storage medium

A control method performed by one or more processors comprising:

• acquiring, from a driving assist system configured to execute a deceleration control, a requested acceleration and an ending information indicating an end of the deceleration control;
• controlling a powertrain based on the requested acceleration;
• and
• prohibiting the powertrain from generating a driving force that is larger than a current lower limit torque when the ending information is acquired.

A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors and that cause one or more processors to perform functions comprising:

• acquiring, from a driving assist system configured to execute a deceleration control, a requested acceleration and an ending information indicating an end of the deceleration control;
• controlling a powertrain based on the requested acceleration;
• and
• prohibiting the powertrain from generating a driving force that is larger than a current lower limit torque when the ending information is acquired.
