Abstract: A vehicle lane change assist apparatus of the invention executes a lane change assist control for moving an own vehicle to a target next lane when an execution of the lane change assist control is requested by a driver of the own vehicle, and a lane change execution condition is satisfied. The lane change execution condition is a condition that the own vehicle does not contact the one or more recognized cubic objects while the own vehicle is caused to move to the target next lane by the lane change assist control. The vehicle lane change assist apparatus determines that the lane change execution condition is not satisfied when one or more non-existent cubic objects are recognized as the one or more recognized cubic objects.
