To provide a side mirror control device improved so that a driver can visually recognize another lane using side mirrors to confirm the presence or absence of other vehicles irrespective of the magnitude of a crossing angle between an own lane and the other lane.SOLUTION: A side mirror control device includes: side mirrors in which directions of surfaces thereof can be adjusted; and a side mirror ECU that controls the directions of the surfaces by control an adjustment device. In a situation where there is a merging point between an own lane and the other lane in front of a vehicle (S10), when obtaining information that the vehicle is going to change a lane from the own lane to the other lane, on the basis of information obtained by a surrounding information obtaining device (S20), the ECU controls the adjustment device on the basis of a crossing angle α between the own lane and the other lane which is identified based on the information obtained by the surrounding information obtaining device, so as to control directions of the mirror surfaces so that a driver can visually recognize the other lane using the side mirrors (S50).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

    【課題】自車線と他車線との交差角の大小に関係なく、運転者がサイドミラーを使用して他車線を視認し、他車両の有無などを確認することができるよう改良されたサイドミラー制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】ミラーの鏡面の向きを調節可能なサイドミラーと、調節装置の制御により鏡面の向きを制御するサイドミラーECUと、を含み、ECUは、周囲情報取得装置により取得された情報に基づいて、自車線と他車線との合流点が車両の前方に存在する状況において(S10)、車両が自車線から他車線へ車線変更する情報を取得すると(S20)、周囲情報取得装置により取得された情報に基づいて特定される自車線と他車線との交差角αに基づいて調節装置を制御することにより、運転者がサイドミラーを使用して他車線を視認し得るように鏡面の向きを制御する(S50)サイドミラー制御装置。【選択図】図2
