A low-cost vehicle control system and a car using the system controls radiation of an actuator driver and thereby reduces the radiation component cost and allows downsizing of an electronic control unit to improve the versatility. The vehicle control system has an electronic control unit, a plurality of actuators and actuator drivers for driving the actuators at the actuator side. The actuator drivers, respectively, have an independent self-diagnosis section, a self-protection section, and a communication control section and are dispersed correspondingly to the actuators.
