DRIVING CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE

[Problem to be Solved]To reduce a risk of contact and collision by a vehicle in the rear by taking the position of the vehicle in the rear into consideration when risk minimization control is activated.[Solution]In a driving control apparatus for a vehicle that has a function for performing automated in-lane driving by maintaining a set vehicle speed when there is no preceding vehicle in a vehicle's driving lane, and maintaining a set inter-vehicle distance when there is a preceding vehicle, and an MRM function for performing risk minimization control including decelerating and stopping the vehicle in the lane when a system failure occurs during operation of the automated in-lane driving function or when operation is not taken over by a driver when a system failure occurs, when the MRM function is activated, a direction of corrective steering is determined on the basis of a lateral position of a vehicle in the rear in the vehicle's driving lane and the corrective steering is performed during deceleration.
