A vehicular control device includes (i) situation detection units that
detect situation of the vehicle, occupants, or a surrounding area; (ii) a
storage unit for storing a model representing association between
variables indicating the situation and variables indicating presence or
absence of operation needs for each in-vehicle unit, (iii) an inference
execution unit that determines presence or absence of the operation needs
for each in-vehicle unit using the stored model; (iv) a control unit that
controls each in-vehicle unit based on a result of determination by the
inference execution unit; (v) an operation detection unit that detects
the operation of each in-vehicle unit; and (vi) a model learning unit
that learns the stored model using the detected situation when the
operation of each in-vehicle unit is detected by the operation detection
unit, and an event involving the presence of operation needs for the
in-vehicle unit.
