Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle control apparatus includes: an approach detection section detects a person around a vehicle; a start control section starts an image capturing unit mounted on the vehicle when the approach detection section detects a person; an authentication section authenticates the person detected as a user of the vehicle by using an image captured and decide authentication completion under a condition that the authentication is established an authentication criterion number of times or more; and an openable and closeable object operation control section brings an openable and closeable object operation unit into operation when the authentication section decides authentication completion. the openable and closeable object operation unit performs at least one of releasing a lock of an openable and closeable object and executing an opening operation of opening the openable and closeable object included in the vehicle.
