Abstract
The difference between a plurality of road surface reflection levels detected by a plurality of object detection apparatuses mounted to a vehicle is calculated, and when the difference exceeds a range of values determined in advance, a control apparatus determines that there is an abnormality in any of the plurality of object detection apparatuses. Accordingly, without causing statistical processing to be complicated, occurrence of an abnormality in the object detection apparatus can be determined less erroneously than before.
