An adaptive cruise control device (10) follows a designated preceding vehicle according to information gained by an image capturing unit (11) and an object measurement unit (12), and further includes a license plate recognition unit (21, 22) which selects an image processing area (A3) from each object detected by the object measurement unit, and, if the detected object is a vehicle, recognizes a plate number from image processing area. If the plate number matches a stored plate number of the designated vehicle to be followed, the detected object is authenticated as the designated vehicle to be followed.
