VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS

A vehicle control apparatus executes an acceleration suppression control to suppress an acceleration of an own vehicle when an operating condition including a condition that an accelerator pedal operation amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value is satisfied. The vehicle control apparatus sets the predetermined threshold value to a smaller value when an object entry condition that an object has a possibility to enter an area in front of the own vehicle, is satisfied than when the object entry condition is not satisfied.
