1. A vehicle control device comprising:
a speed calculator that calculates a vehicle speed at a time of collision when a collision of a vehicle is detected by a collision detection sensor; and
a driving assist controller that performs automatic brake control based on the vehicle speed at the time of collision calculated by the speed calculator,
wherein
when a brake pedal is depressed at the time of collision, the speed calculator calculates the vehicle speed at the time of collision based on a highest one of respective detected values by wheel speed sensors for right and left front wheels and right and left rear wheels, and
when the brake pedal is not depressed at the time of collision, the speed calculator calculates the vehicle speed at the time of collision based on a second lowest one of the respective detected values by the wheel speed sensors for the right and left front wheels and the right and left rear wheels.
