VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

A vehicle control system includes a recognizer that recognizes a surrounding environment of a vehicle, and a driving controller that performs speed control and steering control of the vehicle based on a recognition result of the recognizer. When moving the vehicle to a parking area after detecting that an occupant gets off the vehicle at a stop position, the driving controller adjusts a start timing for starting the vehicle based on the number of vehicles stopped at the stop position recognized by the recognizer.
