A determination processing ECU of a vehicle control apparatus which stops a vehicle regardless of whether a driver operates a brake pedal operation stops the vehicle while changing the steering angle of the vehicle based on an environment surrounding a vehicle stop position. From the received test text, features associated with the typed text are extracted, such as timing data associated with alphanumeric letter pairs. Wheel speed detection means is provided to detect slipping of the wheels, and the control apparatus operates to ensure that, when the amount of electric power generated is to be reduced, if the wheels are not slipping, the amount of electric power generation by the electric power generator is slowly reduced, in comparison with the case where the wheels are slipping. The trigger button is located near the opening. A first interlayer insulating layer is formed to cover the gate insulating layer and the gate electrode.
