1. An apparatus for a first vehicle, comprising:
- at least one of a camera or a radar provided on the first vehicle that detects within a sensing area around the first vehicle, the sensing area being detectable by the at least one of the camera or the radar,a processor that, when executing a program, performs operations including;
receiving a result of detection of the at least one of the camera or the radar;
receiving positional information from a wireless device mounted in a second vehicle outside the sensing area, the positional information including a current position of the second vehicle, a traveling direction of the second vehicle, and a traveling speed of the second vehicle;
determining whether or not to switch an automatic steering mode to a manual steering mode on the basis of the result of detection of the at least one of the camera or the radar and the positional information; and
prompting a driver of the first vehicle to manually switch the automatic steering mode to the manual steering mode before the second vehicle enters the sensing area.

Abstract
A vehicle control device can be mounted in a vehicle. A receiver receives information from a wireless device mounted in another vehicle. A determiner determines whether or not to switch an automatic steering mode to a manual steering mode on the basis of the information received by the receiver. A notifier prompts a driver of the vehicle to switch the automatic steering mode to the manual steering mode in a case where the determiner determines to switch the automatic steering mode to the manual steering mode.
