Abstract
A vehicle brake operating apparatus includes a steering member configured to be gripped by a hand of a driver for a steering operation, an operation member configured to be provided on the steering member so as to be operable by the hand of the driver, a detection device configured to detect an operation input to the operation member by the hand of the driver, and a controller configured to obtain a detection result of the operation. The operation member is used for at least a brake operation. The controller is configured to control, based on the detection result, a variable mechanism that changes an operation force, an operation amount or both of the operation force and the operation amount, each of which is input to the operation member by the driver along with the brake operation.
