A vehicle control device includes an oncoming vehicle detection sensor and a controller that automatically applies brakes to avoid a collision with the oncoming vehicle, under a condition that the own vehicle is at least partially in an opposite lane or a planned path of the own vehicle is at least partially in the opposite lane. The controller sets a virtual area that moves with the oncoming vehicle and that extends in an advancing direction of the oncoming vehicle, and automatically brakes to avoid to avoid a collision. In response to the sensor detecting first and second oncoming vehicles, the controller sets first and second virtual areas, and automatically brakes the own vehicle to prevent coming into contact with the first virtual area and the second virtual area once the own vehicle traverses the opposite lane.
