The present invention relates to a vehicle control apparatus, comprising:an acceleration operator (51) which is configured to be operated by a driver of a vehicle to accelerate the vehicle;a deceleration operator (52) which is configured to be operated by the driver to decelerate the vehicle;at least one direction indicator (61r, 611); anda control unit (10) configured to execute a driving force limiting control of controlling a driving force applied to the vehicle which changes, depending on an operation amount of the acceleration operator (51), to the smaller driving force when a predetermined mistaken operation condition is satisfied, compared with when the predetermined mistaken operation condition is not satisfied,whereinthe predetermined mistaken operation condition includes a first condition, a second condition, and a third condition,the first condition includes an operation speed condition that an operation speed which corresponds to a change amount of the operation amount per unit time, is greater than or equal to a predetermined positive first operation speed threshold,the second condition is a condition which is determined after the first condition becomes satisfied and that the operation amount becomes greater than or equal to a predetermined positive first operation amount threshold within a predetermined first time threshold since the first condition becomes satisfied,the third condition includes at least one of- i) a condition that an elapsed time which elapses since the driver stops operating the deceleration operator (52), is longer than or equal to a predetermined second time threshold, and-ii) a condition that an elapsed time which elapses since the at least one direction indicator (61r, 611) is changed from an ON state to an OFF state, is longer than or equal to a predetermined third time threshold,the control unit (10) is configured to:determine that the predetermined mistaken operation condition is satisfied when the third condition is satisfied at a point in time when the second condition becomes satisfied;determine that the predetermined mistaken operation condition is not satisfied when- i) the third condition is not satisfied at a point in time when the second condition becomes satisfied,- ii) the third condition becomes satisfied within the predetermined first time threshold since the first condition becomes satisfied, and- iii) a predetermined pressing condition is satisfied before the thirdcondition becomes satisfied; anddetermine that the predetermined pressing condition is satisfied when- i) the operation amount is greater than or equal to a predetermined positive second operation amount threshold, and- ii) the operation speed is greater than or equal to a predetermined positive second operation speed threshold.The present invention further relates to a corresponding control method.
