Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus for controlling at least one running condition of a vehicle, including an intended-target-position determining device which determines an intended target position of the vehicle based on a steering angle of the vehicle; a running-state detector which detects a running state of the vehicle; an estimated-target-position determining device which determines an estimated target position of the vehicle based on the running state of the vehicle detected by the running-state detector; a vehicle-condition changing device which changes the at least one running condition of the vehicle; and a vehicle-condition control device which controls the vehicle-condition changing device based on a difference between the intended target position of the vehicle determined by the intended-target-position determining device and the estimated target position of the vehicle determined by the estimated-target-position determining device, thereby controlling the at least one running condition of the vehicle.
