ABSTRACT:
First, it is determined that a measurable distance of a laser radar device is a first threshold value being an extremely short measurable distance or below, because of dirt on a sensor or bad weather. A vehicle control using measured data of the device is thereby prohibited. Second, it is determined that the measurable distance is a second threshold value being a short measurable distance or below but greater than the first threshold value, because of dirt on a sensor or bad weather. A vehicle speed for allowing the vehicle control using the measured data of the device is restricted. Eventually, the vehicle control is executed under these individual conditions.
