To suppress production equipment cost.SOLUTION: The manufacturing method is provided for a vehicle that can execute an automatic travel while recognizing and tracking a forward vehicle. The manufacturing method for vehicle includes: a first assembly process of assembling, on a vehicle to be manufactured, running components including tires and wheels, a drive source for driving the wheels, a power supply device supplying a power source for operating the drive source, a sensor for recognizing the forward vehicle and a controller for controlling a motor to track the forward vehicle for traveling on the basis of information acquired from the sensor and of setting the vehicle under an automatically travellable state; a second assembly process of assembling internal components on the vehicle to be assembled while automatically traveling the vehicle to be manufactured to track an adjacent vehicle to be manufactured at the forward stage more afterward than the first assembly process; and an inspection process of inspecting the finished vehicle to be manufactured more afterward than the second assembly process.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】製造設備コストの抑制。【解決手段】前方車両を認識して追従しつつ、自動走行可能な自動車の製造方法。タイヤ及びホイールを含む走行部品と、ホイールを駆動する駆動源と、駆動源を動作させるための動力源を供給する動力供給装置と、前方車両を認識するためのセンサと、センサから取得した情報に基づいて、前方車両に追従して走行するように、モータを制御する制御装置と、を製造対象車両に組み付けて、当該製造対象車両を自動走行可能な状態とする第１組み付け工程と、第１組み付け工程よりも後に、前方において隣接する製造車両に追従するように製造対象車両を自動走行させつつ、当該製造対象車両に内装部品を組み付ける第２組み付け工程と、第２組み付け工程よりも後に、前記製造対象車両の完成車両を検査する検査工程と、を備える。【選択図】図１
