Abstract
The present invention provides a vehicle control apparatus that controls automated driving of a vehicle, comprising: a first travel controller configured to control travel of the vehicle; a second travel controller configured to control travel of the vehicle based on an instruction from the first travel controller; a first controller configured to control a first actuator based on an instruction from the first travel controller; and a second controller configured to control a second actuator based on an instruction from the second travel controller, wherein in a case in which degradation of a communication function between the first travel controller and the second travel controller is detected in a state where the actuator group is performed by the second controller, alternative control of the vehicle is performed by the second travel controller.
