An automatic driving system for vehicles safely switches a vehicle from an automatic drive mode to a manual drive mode. An automatic driving controller of the automatic driving system includes a travel behavior determining unit that determines a travel behavior of a vehicle during automatic driving based on an operational state of a steering system, an accelerating system, and/or a braking system thereof; a driver's state determining unit that determines a state of a driver based on a face image of the driver captured by a face image camera, biometric information of the driver obtained from body pressure of the driver and variation thereof detected by body pressure sensors of a driver's seat, and signals from pressure-sensitive sensors arranged at a steering wheel and the like; and a drive mode switching control unit that controls in stages switching to manual driving based on the determination results.
