A vehicle controller of a subject vehicle includes a processor that: recognizes a surrounding state of the subject vehicle traveling in a lane on a road; detects a specific target object in a specific area; provides control such that the subject vehicle follows a vehicle traveling ahead thereof; and makes the subject vehicle operate in at least one of a first support status and a second support status having an automated degree higher than the first and realized only when the subject vehicle is traveling in the specific area. When the subject vehicle is traveling in the specific area in the first support status and the specific target object has been detected therein, the processor keeps the support status of the subject vehicle unchanged at the first support status; and, in the second support status, shifts the support status of the subject vehicle to the first support status.
