Abstract
A vehicle control device 1 includes a surrounding situation recognizer 51 configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle 2, a travel controller 52 configured to execute travel control of the vehicle 2 based on a recognition result of the surrounding situation recognizer 51, and a driver state determiner 56 configured to determine whether a state of a driver is normal or abnormal based on an image captured by an in-vehicle camera 25 that captures an image of the driver of the vehicle 2. The driver state determiner 56 is configured to be less likely to determine that the state of the driver is abnormal when the travel control is being executed by the travel controller 52 than when the travel control is not being executed.
