A control apparatus of a vehicle, comprising: an inter-vehicle distance detection device configured to detect an inter-vehicle distance (D) between an own vehicle and a communicating preceding vehicle ; a wireless device configured to acquire communicating preceding vehicle information including requested acceleration information (Gs, Accp, Brkp) on a requested acceleration of the communicating preceding vehicle from the communicating preceding vehicle through a wireless communication; and an acceleration control device configured to control an acceleration of the own vehicle such that the acceleration of the own vehicle corresponds to a requested acceleration (Gj) of the own vehicle , the acceleration control device including: first calculation means configured to calculate a feedback requested acceleration (GFB) which is an acceleration requested to the own vehicle for maintaining the inter-vehicle distance (D) to a target inter-vehicle distance (Dtgt); second calculation means configured to calculate a feedforward requested acceleration (GFF) which is an acceleration requested to the own vehicle for causing the own vehicle to travel following the communicating preceding vehicle on the basis of the requested acceleration information; and third calculation means configured to calculate a requested acceleration (Gj) of the own vehicle on the basis of the feedback requested acceleration (GFB) and the feedforward requested acceleration (GFF), the acceleration control device being configured to execute a following travel control that causes the own vehicle to travel following the communicating preceding vehicle by controlling the acceleration of the own vehicle such that the acceleration of the own vehicle corresponds to the requested acceleration (Gj) of the own vehicle calculated by the third calculation means, wherein the third calculation means is configured to set the feedforward requested acceleration (GFF) to zero when the communicating preceding vehicle information includes information indicating that a shift lever of the communicating preceding vehicle is positioned at a shift position other than a shift position that causes the communicating preceding vehicle to travel forward and the feedforward requested acceleration (GFF) is larger than zero. an inter-vehicle distance detection device configured to detect an inter-vehicle distance (D) between an own vehicle and a communicating preceding vehicle ; a wireless device configured to acquire communicating preceding vehicle information including requested acceleration information (Gs, Accp, Brkp) on a requested acceleration of the communicating preceding vehicle from the communicating preceding vehicle through a wireless communication; and an acceleration control device configured to control an acceleration of the own vehicle such that the acceleration of the own vehicle corresponds to a requested acceleration (Gj) of the own vehicle , first calculation means configured to calculate a feedback requested acceleration (GFB) which is an acceleration requested to the own vehicle for maintaining the inter-vehicle distance (D) to a target inter-vehicle distance (Dtgt); second calculation means configured to calculate a feedforward requested acceleration (GFF) which is an acceleration requested to the own vehicle for causing the own vehicle to travel following the communicating preceding vehicle on the basis of the requested acceleration information; and third calculation means configured to calculate a requested acceleration (Gj) of the own vehicle on the basis of the feedback requested acceleration (GFB) and the feedforward requested acceleration (GFF), <EOS>
