Abstract
An automatic-braking control system for a motor vehicle, wherein an obstacle ahead of the vehicle is sensed so as to automatically brake the vehicle. In a case where the vehicle has been brought into a substantially stopped state by the automatic braking, a braking force for keeping the stopped state of the vehicle is determined, and the vehicle is subjected to a braking control with the determined braking force. In a case where the vehicle has resumed its drive and has reached a vehicle speed of predetermined value, the braking force is released. Thus, the vehicle is permitted to be driven as intended by the driver thereof.
