1. A vehicle control device comprising:
a processor configured to
estimate whether or not a driver is attempting to begin vehicle travel after a vehicle has been activated, based on a photographed image of an area near a driving seat, and
control an electrical oil pump to supply a second hydraulic pressure that is lower than a first hydraulic pressure which allows operation of a transmission having a frictional engagement element that can be engaged and disengaged by hydraulic pressure, when it has been estimated that the driver is not attempting to begin vehicle travel, or control the electrical oil pump to supply the first hydraulic pressure to the transmission, when it has been estimated that the driver is attempting to begin vehicle travel.
