Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus for performing automatic driving control of a vehicle carrying the apparatus based on a travel path to a destination, which path is set using map information, and detection information about surroundings of the vehicle detected by sensors mounted in the vehicle. In the vehicle control apparatus, a mismatch determiner is configured to, during automatic driving control, determine whether or not there is a match between the map information and the detection information acquired from the sensors. A control aspect changer is configured to, if it is determined by the mismatch determiner that there is a mismatch between the map information and the detection information, change a control aspect of automatic driving control in response to a situation of mismatch.
