Abstract
In the present disclosure, after starting software updating, a power-source remaining capacity decreasing amount is detected and then it is determined whether or not the software updating can be continued, so that high-stability software updating can be performed. A vehicle control apparatus includes a storage apparatus in which software has been written, a reception unit that receives updating software, a power-source-remaining-capacity detection unit, a power-source-remaining-capacity decrease detection unit, a software-updating-power calculation unit, a software-updating-starting permission unit, a software-updating-continuation permission unit, and a software-updating control unit; in the case where a power-source remaining capacity decreasing amount of a battery is smaller than a predetermined decrease determination value, the vehicle control apparatus permits continuation of software updating.
