Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus executes automated cruise control under which a steering apparatus is controlled to make a vehicle perform automated cruise. The vehicle control apparatus sets a curvature radius difference threshold used in a process for determining whether to start automated cruise control, based on a transverse deviation of the vehicle. The vehicle control apparatus does not start the automated cruise control when the absolute value of a curvature radius difference is larger than the curvature radius difference threshold. The curvature radius difference is a difference between a travelling path curvature radius and a lane curvature radius, the travelling path curvature radius being a curvature radius of a travelling path of the vehicle and the lane curvature radius being a curvature radius of a lane in which the vehicle is travelling.

Abstract: A sound generator 30 includes a piezoelectric element 1, a vibrating body 3a, a reflection member 81, a reflection member 82, an opening 21, and an opening 22. The vibrating body 3a vibrates due to vibration of the piezoelectric element 1 and generates a sound. The reflection member 81 is disposed in a first direction from the vibrating body 3a so as to be inclined with respect to the vibrating body 3a.
