Abstract
When an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal are being simultaneously operated, an electronic control unit executes a driving power limiting process, in which the driving power is set less than that when only the accelerator pedal is operated. The electronic control unit executes the driving power limiting process after a predetermined time has elapsed from when simultaneous operation of the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal is performed. If the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal are simultaneously operated, the electronic control unit sets a target deceleration of the vehicle based on the vehicle speed before the start of the driving power limiting process and the operation amount of the brake pedal and then controls the driving power during execution of the driving power limiting process such that the deceleration of the vehicle matches the target deceleration.
