A driving control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising: an environmental condition estimating part including a surrounding recognition function for recognizing a vehicle's driving lane, neighboring lanes, and other vehicles driving in the driving lanes and a function for obtaining the vehicle's moving state; a path generating part for generating a target path on the basis of information obtained by the environmental condition estimating part; and a vehicle control part configured to perform speed control and steering control for making the vehicle follow the target path, wherein the driving control apparatus having: a function for performing automated in-lane driving by maintaining a set vehicle speed when there is no preceding other vehicle in the vehicle's driving lane, and maintaining a set inter-vehicle distance when there is a preceding other vehicle; a function for performing automated lane change to a neighboring lane when there is no other vehicle in a first predetermined area of the neighboring lane; and a function for performing fallback control of the functions in a case of deviation from a system operational design domain during operation of the function for performing automated in-lane driving and/or the function for performing automated lane change, characterized in that the driving control apparatus is configured to, in a case in which the deviation from the system operational design domain is predicted, set a second predetermined area (ZF', ZR', ZL) larger than the first predetermined area (ZF, ZR, ZL) as a criterion of the automated lane change. an environmental condition estimating part including a surrounding recognition function for recognizing a vehicle's driving lane, neighboring lanes, and other vehicles driving in the driving lanes and a function for obtaining the vehicle's moving state; a path generating part for generating a target path on the basis of information obtained by the environmental condition estimating part; and a vehicle control part configured to perform speed control and steering control for making the vehicle follow the target path, wherein the driving control apparatus having: a function for performing automated in-lane driving by maintaining a set vehicle speed when there is no preceding other vehicle in the vehicle's driving lane, and maintaining a set inter-vehicle distance when there is a preceding other vehicle; a function for performing automated lane change to a neighboring lane when there is no other vehicle in a first predetermined area of the neighboring lane; and a function for performing fallback control of the functions in a case of deviation from a system operational design domain during operation of the function for performing automated in-lane driving and/or the function for performing automated lane change, characterized in that the driving control apparatus is configured to, in a case in which the deviation from the system operational design domain is predicted, set a second predetermined area (ZF', ZR', ZL) larger than the first predetermined area (ZF, ZR, ZL) as a criterion of the automated lane change. a function for performing automated in-lane driving by maintaining a set vehicle speed when there is no preceding other vehicle in the vehicle's driving lane, and maintaining a set inter-vehicle distance when there is a preceding other vehicle; a function for performing automated lane change to a neighboring lane when there is no other vehicle in a first predetermined area of the neighboring lane; and a function for performing fallback control of the functions in a case of deviation from a system operational design domain during operation of the function for performing automated in-lane driving and/or the function for performing automated lane change, characterized in that the driving control apparatus is configured to, in a case in which the deviation from the system operational design domain is predicted, set a second predetermined area (ZF', ZR', ZL) larger than the first predetermined area (ZF, ZR, ZL) as a criterion of the automated lane change.
