Abstract
A driving assistance ECU that serves as a vehicle control apparatus performs traveling control of a vehicle based on a detection result of a radar apparatus that detects a target in the periphery of an own vehicle. An angle calculating unit of the driving assistance ECU calculates an axial misalignment angle that is a misalignment amount of an attachment angle of the radar apparatus by statistically processing angle misalignment information of the radar apparatus acquired at a predetermined cycle. A control processing unit sets the angle misalignment amount of the radar apparatus to a predetermined initial angle until a predetermined initial period elapses after startup, and performs operation restriction on traveling control based on the initial angle. After the initial angle elapses after startup, the operation restriction on traveling control is performed based on a calculation value of the axial misalignment angle.
