Abstract
A driving force control apparatus is configured to prevent degradation of acceleration performance and the occurrence of large torque shock when shifting from the non-execution to the execution of a driving force control operation. A first target driving force is selected when the driving force control operation is being executed and a second target driving force is selected when the driving force control operation is not being executed. When shifting from the execution to the non-execution, the shifting target driving force is calculated such that the driving force shifts slowly. When accelerating from rest or a slow speed, the speed at which the driving force control operation shifts into the execution mode is increased as the accelerator position becomes larger.
