Abstract
In vehicular traveling control apparatus and method, comprising: a vehicular forward substance detecting section of a laser radar type is provided to detect a forward substance located in a forward direction of the vehicle, a vehicular travel control is performed on the basis of a relative positional relationship between the forward substance detected by the vehicular forward substance detecting section and the vehicle, such an impulse that a detection range of the vehicular forward substance detecting section is varied has been applied to the vehicular forward detecting section is detected, and the vehicular traveling control is inhibited when detecting that the impulse has been applied to the vehicular forward substance detecting section.
