Abstract
A control apparatus for a vehicle includes a first speaker and a second speaker. The first speaker is disposed at a front part of the vehicle and toward a right side in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle. The first speaker is configured to output a notification sound that notifies the surroundings of the vehicle of an approach of the vehicle. The second speaker is disposed at the front part of the vehicle and toward a left side in the vehicle width direction. The second speaker is configured to output the notification sound. The first speaker and the second speaker have an integrated structure with respect to each other and are opposed to each other in the vehicle width direction. The first speaker and the second speaker are configured to simultaneously receive, from an amplifier, a same audio signal as each other on which the notification sound is based.
