A vehicle control apparatus for controlling a subject vehicle includes: an exterior environment detection unit configured to an external situation in a predetermined area around the subject vehicle while the subject vehicle traveling; and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform: recognizing a pair of right and left division lines that define the lane in which the subject vehicle is traveling based on a detection value from the exterior environment detection unit; calculating a direction vector of the pair of right and left division lines recognized in the recognizing; calculating a movement vector of a forward vehicle ahead of the subject vehicle based on the detection value from the exterior environment detection unit; and determining the self-driving capability or the driving support capability to be applied to the subject vehicle based on the direction vector and the movement vector calculated in the calculating.
