VEHICLE CONTROLLER AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

A travel controller executes a first correction process on a request value when the vehicle is traveling on an uphill road, and executes a second correction process on the request value when the vehicle is traveling on a downhill road. The first correction process corrects the request value such that the traveling speed is higher than that in a case in which the first correction process is not executed. The second correction process corrects the request value such that the traveling speed is lower than that in a case in which the second correction process is not executed. If hard braking of the vehicle is requested during execution of the first correction process, the travel controller sets a correction amount of the request value to a lower value than that in a case in which hard braking of the vehicle is not requested.
