Abstract
An ECU drives a brake device of a vehicle to reduce a collision risk with an object or collision damage of the vehicle. The ECU acquires position information of the object based on a combination of data transmitted from a radar device and an in-vehicle camera. The ECU performs a first judgment to detect whether to drive the brake device based on the acquired position information of the object. The ECU further performs a second judgment to detect whether to drive the brake device based on another calculation process. The ECU diagnoses the result of the first judgment. When the result of the first judgment is correct, an operation limitation part in the ECU transmits the result of the first judgment to the control processing part to drive the brake device, and when incorrect, prohibits the transmission of the result of the first judgment to the control processing part.
