Abstract
The vehicle driving force control apparatus executes a mistaken press-down driving force control for setting an upper limit as an initial upper limit for limiting driving force when a mistaken press-down operation of an acceleration pedal is detected. The control apparatus executes a limitation level reduction control when a predetermined vehicle movement is not detected while the mistaken press-down driving force control is executed, and the acceleration pedal is operated. The limitation level reduction control is realized by repeatedly executing a process for limiting the driving force to a first upper limit larger than the initial upper limit for a first period of time and then, limiting the driving force to a second upper limit smaller than the first upper limit for a second period of time. The first upper limit increases as the number of executing the upper limit change process increases.
