Abstract

A vehicle control apparatus selects, as a first group, objects in a predetermined area from objects included in object information, selects, as a second group, an upper limit number of the objects from the first group in descending order of a priority value when the number of the objects of the first group is greater than the upper limit number, and executes a collision avoidance control when an index value satisfies a predetermined condition. The priority value represents a probability that the own vehicle collides with the object. The apparatus reduces the priority value of a particular object of the first group when the moving speed of the own vehicle is equal to or lower than a moving speed threshold. The particular object is an object which is deemed to have a moving speed lower than a moving speed of a four-wheel vehicle.
