PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle controller capable of allowing drivers of other vehicles to easily recognize own vehicle.SOLUTION: An out-of-area determination section 13 determines whether or not another vehicle X is positioned in an area where a driver of the other vehicle X can directly and visually recognize a headlight 10A or the like of own vehicle M based on the position of the other vehicle X. When the out-of-area determination section 13 determines that own vehicle M is positioned in a blind area and the other vehicle X is positioned out of a visible area, a control unit 14 controls own vehicle M to travel at a position in an area where the other vehicle X can recognize own vehicle M.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】他車両のドライバが自車両を容易に認識することが可能な車両制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】エリア外判定部１３は、他車両Ｘの位置に基づいて、他車両Ｘのドライバから自車両Ｍのヘッドライト１０Ａ等を直接視認可能な視認可能エリア外に他車両Ｘが位置しているか否かを判定する。制御部１４は、自車両Ｍの位置が暗所エリアであると判定され、且つ他車両Ｘが視認可能エリア外に位置していると判定された場合、他車両Ｘが視認可能エリア内に位置するように自車両Ｍを走行させる。【選択図】図１
