Abstract

A vehicle control apparatus is equipped with a vehicle velocity detecting unit that detects a vehicle velocity of a driver's own vehicle, and an automatic brake control unit configured to carry out an automatic brake control process for causing a braking force to be generated automatically in the wheels without reliance on a braking operation when the vehicle is involved in a collision. The automatic brake control unit makes the braking force to the wheels smaller as the vehicle velocity becomes higher after the vehicle collision.
