Abstract
The disclosure relates to a vehicle control apparatus. The apparatus executes a torque limit control for limiting an output torque of a vehicle to a torque equal to or smaller than a first torque when a torque limit condition is satisfied and a forced braking control for forcibly braking the vehicle when a forced braking condition is satisfied. The apparatus determines whether or not it is estimated that a stop condition that if the output torque is a predetermined torque larger, the forced braking condition is satisfied, is satisfied. The apparatus executes the torque limit control such that the output torque is limited to a torque equal to or smaller than a second torque equal to or larger than the predetermined torque when the torque limit condition and the stop condition are satisfied.
