Patent attributes
A vehicle control apparatus is provided with: an acquirer configured to obtain an expected end timing of a first deceleration support control, which is a deceleration support control for a first target, and an expected start timing of a second deceleration support control, which is the deceleration support control for a second target, if there is the first target as a deceleration target ahead of a host vehicle in the traveling direction and if there is the second target as the deceleration target ahead of the first target; and a controller programmed or configured to perform an interpolation deceleration support control of interpolating the first deceleration support control and the second deceleration support control, in a predetermined period including at least a part of an interval between the expected end timing and the predicted start timing, if the interval is less than a first time.
