Abstract
A vehicle door opening and closing apparatus includes: a first detector installed in a vehicle, and detecting a foot portion of a detection target in the vicinity of a door of the vehicle a second detector detecting the detection target standing in a predetermined range from the door; and a control device determining whether the detection target has an intention of opening or closing the door based on whether a detection signal indicative of detecting the foot portion is input from the first detector, determining whether the door can be opened or closed based on the detection signal from the second detector, and determining whether a control unit outputs a drive signal for an opening or closing drive of the door to a door drive apparatus based on determination results from the first and second detectors.
