To provide a vehicle control device that effectively achieves correct grasp of an actual location related to a vehicle during its automatic traveling in a parking area when map data is relatively bulky.SOLUTION: A vehicle control device includes a plurality of computers that includes an image recognition device, a location estimation device, and a traveling control device. Among the plurality of computers, a first computer providing the image recognition device and a second computer providing the traveling control device are different from each other, and the second computer providing the traveling control device is different from a third computer providing the location estimation device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】地図データが比較的大容量である場合に、駐車場における自動走行中の車両に関する実位置の正確な把握を効率的に実現する車両制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両制御装置は、画像認識装置と、位置推定装置と、走行制御装置と、を実現する複数のコンピュータを備える。複数のコンピュータのうち、画像認識装置を実現する第１コンピュータと走行制御装置を実現する第２コンピュータとは互いに異なり、位置推定装置を実現する第３コンピュータと走行制御装置を実現する第２コンピュータとは互いに異なる。【選択図】図５
