Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus is provided with a plurality of unit controllers to individually provide control to different control items constructed such that mutual communication of data for diagnosis is effected between the unit controllers, and when one of the unit controllers comes to be abnormal, the other or others change their control mode so as to lead the vehicle to safety, based on the data from the one unit controller having come to be abnormal.
