Abstract
A control apparatus of a vehicle executes an avoidance operation for avoiding collision with an object that is moving in a direction intersecting a longer direction of the vehicle. In a case where the vehicle is travelling on a first road, and makes a turn toward a first traffic lane of a second road intersecting the first road, the apparatus does not set a vehicle that is travelling on a second traffic lane of the second road that is farther from the vehicle than the first traffic lane, as a target for the avoidance operation, if a predetermined condition is not satisfied, or irrespective of whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied, and sets a vehicle that is travelling on the first traffic lane, as the target, irrespective of whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied.
