Abstract

A vehicle traveling control apparatus stops a vehicle when the driver is under the abnormal state that the driver loses an ability of driving the vehicle, and then performs a stopped state maintaining control to maintain the vehicle at the stopped state. The control apparatus forbids a termination of the stopped state maintaining control if the acceleration pedal operation amount is equal to or greater than a threshold value greater than zero when the termination of the stopped state maintaining control is requested.
