1. A control device for controlling a subject vehicle configured to switch between manual driving by a driver and automated driving, the control device comprising:
a processor configured to execute learning control that learns vehicle-to-vehicle information being vehicle-to-vehicle time or vehicle-to-vehicle distance of the subject vehicle with respect to a preceding vehicle during traveling with the manual driving, and to reflect a learning result of the vehicle-to-vehicle information by the learning control in a control of the vehicle-to-vehicle information during the automated driving; and
a memory device configured to store the vehicle-to-vehicle information as learning data during the manual driving,
wherein in the learning control, the processor is configured to:
determine, based on a type of the preceding vehicle, whether or not the vehicle-to-vehicle information for the preceding vehicle is caused to be stored in the memory device as the learning data;
when a height of the preceding vehicle is less than a threshold value, store the vehicle-to-vehicle information in the memory device as the learning data; and
when the height is equal to or greater than the threshold value, not to store the vehicle-to-vehicle information in the memory device as the learning data.
