CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE

A control apparatus includes a switching control unit that switches a traveling mode of a vehicle from an automated driving mode to a manual driving mode if an automated drive canceling request to cancel the automated driving mode to switch to the manual driving mode is submitted while the vehicle is traveling in the automated driving mode. The switching control unit performs transmission gear setting control in which a transmission gear of an automatic transmission is set to a highest transmission gear among transmission gears within a range of a predetermined allowable driving force in the switching from the automated driving mode to the manual driving mode.
