Apparatus and method for detecting rotation angular speed and automobile using the apparatus

There is provided a rotation angular speed detection apparatus (11) capable of detecting a rotation angular speed to reduce an error when the rotation angular speed for rotating a rotating body is low. A rotation angular speed detection apparatus (11) comprises: a receiving part (12) for receiving a rotation angle at predetermined time intervals from a rotation angle sensor (17) for detecting a rotation angle of a rotating body (16); a storage part (13) for storing the received rotation angle; and a control part (14) for detecting a rotation angular speed from the rotation angles stored in the storage part (13); wherein when a difference between a first arbitrary angle stored and a second angle stored before the first angle is less than a predetermined value, the control part determines, from the rotation angles stored in the storage part, a third angle in which a difference between the first angle and the third angle is more than the predetermined value, and wherein the control part divides the difference between the first angle and the third angle by the time required from storing of the third angle to storing of the first angle so as to detect a rotation angular speed.
