Vehicle control apparatus, vehicle control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A vehicle control method for causing a computer mounted on a vehicle to perform pre-collision control for reducing a collision probability that the vehicle collides with an object in response to the collision probability being high,

• wherein the vehicle control method comprises:
• a step of prohibiting performing the pre-collision control in response to an operation amount related to a steering operation of a steering wheel of the vehicle by a driver becoming greater than a first threshold value during the pre-collision control;
• and
• a step of continuing to prohibit performing the pre-collision control in response to the steering operation satisfying a predetermined continuation condition, in a case where the operation amount is equal to or less than a second threshold value after prohibiting performing the pre-collision control.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer mounted on a vehicle to perform pre-collision control for reducing a collision probability that the vehicle collides with an object in response to the collision probability being high,

• wherein the program causes the computer to:
• prohibit performing the pre-collision control in response to an operation amount related to a steering operation of a steering wheel of the vehicle by a driver becoming greater than a first threshold value during the pre-collision control;
• and
• continue to prohibit performing the pre-collision control in response to the steering operation satisfying a predetermined continuation condition, in a case where the operation amount is equal to or less than a second threshold value after prohibiting performing the pre-collision control.
