A vehicle control apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a sensor to detect a steering torque applied to a steering shaft that rotates in accordance with a steering wheel operation; a steering assistance unit configured to assist steering by a lane keeping assistance function; a correcting unit configured to obtain a corrected torque by removing a torque caused due to the steering assistance unit from the steering torque detected by the sensor; and a determining unit configured to determine whether or not a driver is in a hands-off state based on the corrected torque.

Vehicle control apparatus and vehicle

A vehicle control apparatus comprising: a detector configured to detect a division line of a road; a speed detector configured to detect a speed of a vehicle traveling on the road; and a controller that can execute lane departure suppression control to suppress the vehicle from departing from the division line, wherein the controller changes, in accordance with the speed detected by the speed detector, an execution timing of the lane departure suppression control with respect to the division line.

Vehicle control apparatus, vehicle, operation method of vehicle control apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A vehicle control apparatus that controls a vehicle, comprising a controller configured to execute lane departure suppression control to suppress the vehicle from departing from a division line, wherein in a case in which the shape of a road is a curve, the controller delays an operation timing of the lane departure suppression control compared to a case in which the shape of the road is not the curve, and in a case in which the shape of the road is the curve and an oncoming vehicle is detected, the controller decreases an amount of delay of the operation timing of the lane departure suppression control compared to a case in which the shape of the road is the curve and the oncoming vehicle is not detected.

A vehicle surroundings monitoring device includes a moving direction determining unitwhich determines whether a physical body is moving in a traveling direction of a self vehicle or a transverse direction orthogonal to the traveling direction, from a change in a detection position of the physical body by a laser radar, wherein a classification determining unitexecutes a first classification determining process of determining the physical body determined to be moving in the traveling direction as a four-wheel vehicle when dimensions of the physical body obtained from the detected position by the laser radaris within a range of A, and a second classification determining process of determining the physical body determined to be moving in the transverse direction as the four-wheel vehicle when the dimensions of the physical body obtained from the detected position by the laser radaris within a range of B
