Claim:
1. A vehicle speed limit apparatus, comprising a processor configured to: calculate a demand value according to an accelerator opening degree, the demand value being related to a drive force; obtain a limit vehicle speed; calculate an upper limit value based on a limit acceleration, the limit acceleration being determined according to a vehicle speed difference between the limit vehicle speed and a current vehicle speed, the upper limit value being related to the drive force; select a value, the value being the smaller of the demand value and the upper limit value; control a drive force generation apparatus to generate the drive force corresponding to the selected value; and correct the upper limit value (i) based on a current acceleration and the limit acceleration when the selected value corresponds to the upper limit value, and (ii) based on the current acceleration and the demand value when the selected value corresponds to the demand value.
