A vehicle control method and system includes: acquiring a face image of a user currently requesting to use a vehicle; acquiring a feature matching result between the face image and at least one pre-stored face image in a data set of the vehicle, where the data set stores pre-stored face images of at least one pre-recorded user allowed to use the vehicle; and if the feature matching result indicates that the feature matching is successful, controlling actions of the vehicle to allow the user to use the vehicle. The rights of pre-recorded personnel can be guaranteed based on feature matching, and feature matching can be achieved without a network, thereby overcoming the dependency on the network and further improving the safety guarantee of the vehicle.
