Abstract
In a vehicle control apparatus which performs a remote operation of a vehicle using a remote control, a remote operation of the vehicle which is not intended by a driver is prevented.When traveling control of a vehicle is performed through a remote operation from a remote control 3, a stop position of a vehicle 2 is set by a stop position setting device 9, and a movement course of the vehicle 2 is calculated by the vehicle course calculation device 10. In addition, the vehicle 2 is moved along the calculated movement course in response to a driving operation from the remote control 3, but if a driving operation from inside of the vehicle and a driving operation from the remote control 3 come into conflict, the driving operation from the remote control 3 is canceled, and the driving operation from inside of the vehicle is prioritized.
