Disclosed is a vehicle control system configured to set a speed distribution area defining the distribution of an upper-limit relative speed around a given object, and executes a speed control and/or a steering control of a vehicle so as to prevent a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to the object from exceeding the upper-limit relative speed defined in the speed distribution area, wherein the vehicle control system is configured to estimate the degree of visibility of a driver of the vehicle based on external information (e.g., wiper operating state and light intensity) acquired by an external state detection sensor (e.g., a wiper sensor and a light intensity sensor), and change the distribution of the upper-limit relative speed in the speed distribution area according to the estimated degree of the visibility.
