Vehicle control apparatus

A vehicle control apparatus to be applied to a vehicle, the vehicle control apparatus comprising:

• a first traveling motor coupled to a first wheel positioned at a front part of the vehicle in a traveling direction of the vehicle;
• a second traveling motor coupled to a second wheel positioned at a rear part of the vehicle in the traveling direction;
• and
• a control system including a processor and a memory that are coupled to each other to allow for a communication between the processor and the memory, the control system being configured to control each of the first traveling motor and the second traveling motor, the control system being configured to decrease a power running torque of the first traveling motor and increase a power running torque of the second traveling motor in a case where a first distance from the vehicle to a contact predicted spot or a contact object is less than a first threshold during traveling of the vehicle, and being configured to increase a regenerative torque of the first traveling motor and increase a regenerative torque of the second traveling motor in a case where a second distance from the vehicle to the contact object is less than a second threshold that is less than the first threshold during the traveling of the vehicle.
