Abstract
A travel control apparatus for controlling travel of a vehicle, comprises: an acquisition unit configured to acquire external information using one of a first camera and a second camera; a specifying unit configured to specify a position of the vehicle; and a travel control unit configured to control the travel of the vehicle based on the external information acquired by the acquisition unit and the position of the vehicle specified by the specifying unit. If the acquisition unit acquires the external information using the second camera instead of the first camera, the travel control unit controls the travel of the vehicle so that participation of a driver in driving is higher than in a case in which the acquisition unit acquires the external information using the first camera.
