1. A control device for a vehicle including a motor capable of generating a negative driving force for decelerating the vehicle, the control device comprising:
an operation unit;
an operation-unit sensor configured to detect an operation-unit operation amount, the operation-unit operation amount being an amount of operation of the operation unit; and
a driving force controller configured to
cause the motor to drive a wheel of the vehicle with the negative driving force on a basis of the operation-unit operation amount, and
derive the negative driving force in accordance with an initial time change, the initial time change representing an amount of change in the operation-unit operation amount per unit time relative to an operation-unit operation amount at an initial position of the operation unit,
wherein the driving force controller is configured to, when the initial time change is less than a predetermined amount, derive the negative driving force in accordance with the operation-unit operation amount until the operation unit is returned to the initial position.
