Abstract
To provide a vehicle control device capable of suppressing eye dryness of a driver.SOLUTION: A vehicle control device 1 includes an estimation part 13 which estimates eye dryness of a driver in a vehicle and a control part 14 for executing suppression control which suppresses eye dryness of the driver when it is estimated that the driver's eye is dry. The suppression control is, for example, a control for adjusting a wind direction of an air conditioner so that wind of the air conditioner in the vehicle is not blown out toward the face of the driver. The estimation part, for example, can estimate the eye dryness of the driver, on the basis of a blinking pattern of the driver.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
