Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus includes one or more sensors that obtain information related to a vehicle being driven within a driving lane. The vehicle control apparatus further includes a processor that sets a lane change start target point with respect to a center of the driving lane. The processor sets at least one new lane change start target point based on a position of the vehicle if it is determined that a center of a bumper of the vehicle is biased in one direction with respect to the center of the driving lane.
