1. A vehicle emergency stop system, comprising a control device configured to start execution of emergency stop control for causing an own vehicle to perform an emergency stop by performing braking control on the own vehicle when an operation of a driving operation device of the own vehicle is not detected for a predetermined time, and to end the execution of the emergency stop control when the operation is detected during the execution of the emergency stop control,
the control device being configured to continue the emergency stop control when a collision between the own vehicle and an object is detected during the execution of the emergency stop control and the operation is detected within a first predetermined time from a first time point at which the collision is detected, and when the operation is detected during the execution of the emergency stop control and the collision is detected within a second predetermined time from a second time point at which the operation is detected, and
the control device being configured to determine that a driver of the own vehicle is in a low-consciousness state when one of the collision and the operation is detected first and then the other of the collision and the operation is detected within a threshold time thereafter, and continue the emergency stop control based on determining that the driver is in the low-consciousness state.
