Abstract:
In a vehicle control apparatus which controls movement of the own vehicle, the control unit obtains data of surroundings of the own vehicle. Then, according to the data of the surroundings, the control unit conducts vehicle control including acceleration/deceleration control representing control related to acceleration/deceleration of the own vehicle, and steering control representing control related to steering of the own vehicle. Upon input of a stop command indicating stop of the vehicle control, a first stop section stops first control which is either of the acceleration/deceleration control and the steering control. Then, a second stop section stops a second control, which is the other of the acceleration/deceleration control and the steering control, at a timing different from the timing to stop the first control (S 310 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle control apparatus configured to control movement of an own vehicle, comprising:\n a vehicle control unit configured to obtain data of surroundings of the own vehicle, and execute vehicle control including acceleration/deceleration control representing control for acceleration/deceleration of the own vehicle and steering control representing control for steering of the own vehicle, according to the data of the surroundings; a first stop section configured to stop a first control representing either of the acceleration/deceleration control and the steering control, upon input of a stop command representing stop of the vehicle control; a second stop section configured to stop a second control representing the other of the acceleration/deceleration control and the steering control, at timing different from timing to stop the first control; a stop determination section configured to repeatedly determine whether a predetermined stop condition is established, upon input of the stop command; a stop inhibition section configured to inhibit at least one of an operation under which the first stop section stops the first control or an operation under which the second stop section stops the second control, until the stop condition is established; an input obtaining section configured to obtain an input operation amount representing an operation amount actually inputted by the driver regarding the first control which is either of an acceleration/deceleration operation representing acceleration/deceleration of the own vehicle, and an steering operation representing steering of the own vehicle; a control variable calculation section configured to calculate an operation control variable representing a control variable of an operation related to the first control, according to the input operation amount and a control variable changing section configured to change the operation control variable to a corrected control variable which is calculated if a difference between the reference operation amount and the input operation amount is not less than a predetermined operation threshold, and if the difference is smaller.
