Original Abstract Submitted

The autonomous driving control apparatus includes a driving control unit capable of executing a first autonomous driving mode and a second autonomous driving mode having a higher travel performance than the first autonomous driving mode, a parameter changing unit changing at least a part of a control parameter of autonomous driving to a control parameter for executing the second autonomous driving mode during execution of the first autonomous driving mode, and a performance determination unit determining whether travel performance of an autonomous driving vehicle satisfies travel performance required for the second autonomous driving mode after change of the control parameter. When it is determined that the travel performance required for the second autonomous driving mode is satisfied, the driving control unit switches to the second autonomous driving mode.
