Abstract
There is disclosed a vehicle control processing when a vehicle backs up. According to this vehicle control processing, a controller backs the vehicle toward an obstacle step by step by repeating execution of back control processing for backing the vehicle to a halt at a target stop position, which is set on the obstacle side of the vehicle, until a distance from the vehicle to the obstacle becomes equal to or less than a final target stop position. Thus, it prevents the vehicle driver from failing to park the vehicle at an appropriate position and feeling a lot of trouble during vehicle control as experienced by the vehicle driver in the conventional vehicle control apparatus.
