Abstract

A first travel controller of a control device for a vehicle sets a first target drive force based on preceding vehicle information to control a power source when a follow-up system is in an active state. A second travel controller sets a second target drive force based on a driver's operation to control the power source when the follow-up system is in an inactive state. A third travel controller sets a third target drive force that changes from the first target drive force toward to the second target drive force to control the power source when the follow-up system is switched from the active state to the inactive state. The third travel controller makes a difference between a change rate of the third target drive force set after the cancel operation and a change rate of the third target drive force set after the brake operation.

First claim
