The vehicle control device includes an IC unit 10A for performing image processing on outputs from cameras 71; an IC unit 20A for performing recognition processing of an external environment of the vehicle; and an IC unit 30A for performing judgment processing for cruise control of the vehicle. A control flow 105 is provided so as to allow the IC unit 30A to transmit a control signal to the IC units 10A and 20A. The control flow 105 is provided separately from a data flow configured to transmit the output from the cameras, the image data, and the external environment data.
