Collision avoidance apparatus for a vehicle

A collision avoidance apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:

• an object detection device configured to detect an object at least in front of a host vehicle;
• and an electronic control unit configured to, when the electronic control unit determines based on a detection result of the object detection device that the host vehicle is likely to collide with an obstacle, execute automatic braking so as to reduce the likelihood, wherein
• the electronic control unit is configured to determine, when the automatic braking is terminated, whether a specific condition is satisfied that an accelerator opening degree due to a driving operation by a driver is equal to or greater than a reference opening degree, and to control, when the electronic control unit determines that the specific condition is satisfied, a driving force of the host vehicle so that a vehicle speed of the host vehicle does not exceed an upper limit vehicle speed of a vehicle speed range in which the automatic braking is executed.
