Abstract
A driving assist ECU calculates a speed deviation ΔV which is a magnitude of a deviation between a target speed Vset and a speed limit Vlim in a situation in which the target speed Vset and the speed limit Vlim are different from each other. When the speed deviation ΔV is equal to or smaller than a threshold A, the driving assist ECU sets an accept prohibition flag to '1'. When the speed deviation ΔV is higher than the threshold A, the driving assist ECU sets the accept prohibition flag to '0'. When the accept prohibition flag is “1”, the driving assist ECU regards/treats a long-push operation of an operating unit not as an accept operation, but as an acceleration operation or a coast operation.
