To provide a vehicle control device, a vehicle control method, and a program, which can perform automatic operation according to a movement of a peripheral vehicle while improving comfort of an occupant.SOLUTION: A vehicle control device includes: a recognition section for recognizing objects around one's own vehicle; an operation control section for controlling a speed or steering of the own vehicle on the basis of positions of the objects; and a prediction section for predicting that a predetermined vehicle moves to a front of the own vehicle in its own line when the predetermined vehicle at a position in which traversing the own line is possible is recognized. The operation control section performs a predetermined vehicle behavior control when predicting that the predetermined vehicle moves to the front of the own vehicle in the own line, and suppresses the predetermined vehicle behavior control compared to the case that the movement of the predetermined vehicle to the front of the own vehicle in the own line is predicted when predicting that the predetermined vehicle does not move to the front of the own vehicle in the own line.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】乗員の快適性を向上させながら、周辺車両の動向に応じた自動運転を行うことができる車両制御装置、車両制御方法、およびプログラムを提供すること。【解決手段】車両制御装置は、自車両の周辺の物体を認識する認識部と、前記物体の位置に基づいて、前記自車両の速度または操舵を制御する運転制御部と、自車線を横切ることが可能な位置にある所定車両が認識されている場合、前記所定車両が前記自車線の前記自車両の前方に移動することを予測する予測部と、を備え、前記運転制御部が、前記所定車両が前記自車線の前記自車両の前方に移動することが予測された場合、所定の車両挙動制御を行い、前記所定車両が前記自車線の前記自車両の前方に移動しないことが予測された場合、前記所定車両が前記自車線の前記自車両の前方に移動することが予測された場合に比して、前記所定の車両挙動制御を抑制する。【選択図】図１
