A travel controller autonomously controlling travel of a vehicle, estimating an estimated arrival timing at which the vehicle is expected to arrive at a predetermined location where autonomous control can no longer be continued, starting notification of a transition demand demanding a transition of operation from the autonomous control to manual control a predetermined time period before the estimated arrival timing, ending the transition demand and the autonomous control and starting acceptance of a driving operation when a responsive motion of the driver to the transition demand is detected before the vehicle reaches the predetermined location, and ending the transition demand and the autonomous control and performing safe stopping control of acceleration, deceleration, and steering so that the vehicle stops at a safe position when the vehicle reaches the predetermined location without a responsive motion being detected.
