Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus includes one or more processors that execute a braking delay process and a stopping control process. The braking delay process is related to contact avoidance in which a recognized road-side object is set to a target object, and is a process of performing a control of delaying intervention by braking in a case where the contact avoidance using steering is predicted to be possible, as compared with a case where the contact avoidance using the braking is performed. The stopping control process is a process of performing a control of preventing a vehicle from stopping within a section corresponding to a discontinuous portion in the road-side object in a case where the intervention by the braking is to be delayed, where the discontinuous portion is recognized in the road-side object, and where the vehicle is predicted to stop within the section.
