Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus performs traveling control of a vehicle based on a detection result of a radar apparatus that detects a target in the periphery of an own vehicle. The vehicle control apparatus calculates a shaft misalignment angle that is a misalignment amount of an attachment angle of the radar apparatus and a shaft misalignment direction, and sets a detection range over which a target to be subjected to traveling control of the own vehicle is detected. Until elapse of a predetermined initial period after startup, a width in a lateral direction of the detection range is reduced based on a predetermined initial angle that is the misalignment amount of the attachment angle of the radar apparatus. After the elapse of the initial period after startup, the width in the lateral direction of the detection range is reduced based on calculation values of the shaft misalignment angle and the shaft misalignment direction.
