Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus detects an object in a travel direction of a vehicle. The vehicle control apparatus restrains a drive force of the vehicle when an object is detected. The vehicle control apparatus acquires a jerk in a travel direction on the basis of a behavior of the vehicle. When an accelerator of the vehicle is actuated while the vehicle is in a state in which the drive force of the vehicle is restrained, and a speed of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined value. The vehicle control apparatus increases the drive force, and decreases a post-increase drive force on the basis of the acquired jerk.
