A vehicle air conditioning unit is installed in a vehicle, and the vehicle travels with self-driving that eliminates need for an occupant to operate the vehicle by a foot of the occupant and normal driving that requires the occupant to operate the vehicle by the foot. The vehicle air conditioning unit includes a foot outlet portion that defines a foot outlet open in a vehicle cabin, blown air flowing through the foot outlet toward the foot of the occupant, and an outlet changing device that changes a position to which the blown air flowing through the foot outlet flows. A controller of the vehicle is configured to control the outlet changing device such that the blown air is directed further rearward during the self-driving compared to during the normal driving.
