Abstract: A vehicle control device causes an automatic brake to function even for an obstacle suddenly appearing from outside a sensor detection range in a place estimated to be dangerous such as an intersection. A vehicle control device calculates time-to-collision TTC based on a detection result of an obstacle sensor, and controls a brake, which is an actuator of a vehicle, based on the calculated time-to-collision TTC. The vehicle control device includes a determination unit that determines right turn or left turn of the vehicle, and a command unit that sends a command according to a determination result of the determination unit to the brake. When determining that the vehicle is turning right or left, the determination unit changes the time-to-collision TTC to a longer value by extending more than that at the time of traveling straight.
