Abstract
A vehicle exterior environment recognition apparatus includes an object identifier and a barrier setting unit. The object identifier is configured to identify an object in a detected region ahead of an own vehicle. The barrier setting unit is configured to set a barrier located at a closest end of the object, with a relative distance from the object to the own vehicle in a traveling direction of the own vehicle being shortest at the closest end. The barrier is devoid of avoidability by the own vehicle with use of a traveling mode of the own vehicle.
