Claim:
1. An electronic control apparatus that is mounted in a vehicle and used to perform a control process based on wireless data and in-vehicle data, the wireless data being received by a radio that establishes wireless communication with at least either a different vehicle or a roadside unit, the in-vehicle data being generated by an in-vehicle instrument disposed in the vehicle, the electronic control apparatus comprising: a radio control section that stores the wireless data inputted from the radio in a first wireless data storage unit; an in-vehicle communication control section that stores the in-vehicle data inputted from the in-vehicle instrument in a first in-vehicle data storage unit; a wireless data control section that stores the wireless data stored in the first wireless data storage unit in a second wireless data storage unit; an in-vehicle data control section that stores the in-vehicle data stored in the first in-vehicle data storage unit in a second in-vehicle data storage unit; and a control data generation section that generates control data, which is necessary for performing the control process, from the wireless data stored in the second wireless data storage unit and the in-vehicle data stored in the second in-vehicle data storage unit, wherein: the wireless data control section includes the in-vehicle data control section includes an in-vehicle data reception section that moves the in-vehicle data stored in the first in-vehicle data storage unit to an intermediate in-vehicle data storage unit; and a process performed by the wireless data reception section takes precedence over a process performed by the in-vehicle data reception section and over a process performed by the wireless data management section.
