VEHICLE CONTROLLER, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR VEHICLE CONTROL

A vehicle controller includes a processor configured to sense trouble with a first sensor among sensors that are capable of detecting objects around a host vehicle and whose sensing areas at least partially overlap, detect another vehicle traveling in an area around the host vehicle, based on sensor signals from the respective sensors, and decelerate the host vehicle at first deceleration in the case where trouble with the first sensor is sensed and where the other vehicle is detected on the basis of a sensor signal from a second sensor having lower priority than the first sensor in sensing the other vehicle cutting in front of the host vehicle.
