APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE

An electronic control unit (1) reduces output of an engine (6) using a detection value of an acceleration sensor (21) such that acceleration of a vehicle does not exceed a predetermined threshold value. In a case where there is an abnormality in the acceleration sensor (21), the electronic control unit (1) sets the acceleration threshold value to be greater than that in a case where there is no abnormality, and the electronic control unit limits the vehicle speed to a predetermined value or slower.
