Vehicle control apparatus

A vehicle control apparatus includes a collision detection unit configured to detect that a vehicle collides against an object outside the vehicle, a brake control unit configured to carry out a post-collision brake control for automatically braking the vehicle when the collision detection unit detects the collision, and a prediction unit configured to predict a yaw generation probability which is a degree of generation of yaw generated to the vehicle when the post-collision brake control is carried out, based on a collision direction and a collision position of the vehicle with respect to the object outside the vehicle, after the collision has been detected by the collision detection unit and before the post-collision brake control is carried out by the brake control unit.
