Abstract

A cruise control apparatus is provided with: a controlling device configured to start a determination period, which is a period for determining whether or not to continue the intermittent operation mode, on condition that a change amount of the accelerator opening degree exceeds a predetermined change amount, during implementation of the intermittent operation mode, and configured to set an accelerator following period, which is a period for allowing the driver's accelerator operation to follow torque of the vehicle, after an end of the determination period, if it is determined that the intermittent operation mode is to be continued according to a change width of the accelerator opening degree obtained in the determination period.
