the processor changes the second driving mode using a road division line shown in the camera image to the second driving mode using a road division line shown in the map information when it is determined that the curvature change rate is equal to or greater than the third threshold value.
6. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second driving mode is a driving mode in which a task of gripping an operator for receiving a steering operation of the vehicle is not imposed on the driver, and
the first driving mode is a driving mode in which at least only the task of gripping the operator is imposed on the driver.
7. A vehicle control method comprising:
by a computer,
acquiring a camera image obtained by capturing an image of a surrounding situation of a vehicle;
controlling steering and acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle without depending on an operation of a driver of the vehicle on the basis of the camera image and map information;
