Abstract: A vehicle control method includes: controlling a vehicle based on a lane position obtained from map information; detecting a lane boundary around the vehicle using a sensor mounted on the vehicle; and determining that the map information deviates from an actual state when a predetermined condition is met. The predetermined condition is met when a state in which a first distance is equal to or less than a first threshold continues for a first time or more or when a state in which a second distance is equal to or more than a second threshold continues for a second time or more. The first distance is a distance between a travel position of the vehicle and the detected lane boundary. The second distance is a distance between a lane boundary obtained from the map information and the detected lane boundary.

Abstract: The vehicle driving assist apparatus can execute at least one of an acceleration/deceleration control as a driving assist control to automatically accelerate and decelerate an own vehicle and a steering control as the driving assist control to automatically steer the own vehicle. The vehicle driving assist apparatus includes a driving assist restart switch operated by a driver of the own vehicle to restart the driving assist control. The vehicle driving assist apparatus does not restart the acceleration/deceleration control even when the driving assist restart switch is operated after stopping the acceleration/deceleration control in response to the driver performing an automatic acceleration/deceleration rejection operation. The vehicle driving assist apparatus does not restart the steering control even when the driving assist restart switch is operated after stopping the steering control in response to the driver performing an automatic steering rejection operation.
