VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS

A vehicle control apparatus including an electric control unit including a microprocessor and a memory connected to the microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to generate an action plan of the self-driving vehicle and control a drive power source and a transmission so that a self-driving vehicle travels by self-driving in accordance with the action plan. The action plan includes a target vehicle speed after continuously increasing or decreasing beyond a unit time and a target time from a present time to a time when the target vehicle speed is achieved, and the microprocessor is configured to control the drive power source and the transmission so that the self-driving vehicle travels at a target vehicle acceleration set based on the target time and a vehicle speed change amount from the vehicle speed at the present time to the target vehicle speed.
