1. A vehicle control apparatus, comprising:
an actuator that is provided on a vehicle and is configured to perform a back door closing operation of the vehicle, the back door closing operation including moving a back door from a first position to a second position, wherein the back door is located behind a rear seat of the vehicle; an input device configured to generate reservation information that identifies a reservation for the back door closing operation by the actuator; a storage device configured to store the reservation information; a portable terminal; a communication apparatus that is provided on the vehicle and is configured to bi-directionally communicate with the portable terminal; and circuitry configured to:
cause, when the reservation information is stored in the storage device, the actuator to start the door back closing operation when a distance between the communication apparatus and the portable terminal is within a predetermined range having a maximum value and a minimum value, andcause, during the back door closing operation of the door, the actuator to stop the back door closing operation when the distance is not within the predetermined range and becomes at least one of a first distance and a second distance, wherein the first distance is greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the minimum value of the predetermined range, the second distance is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the predetermined range, the maximum value of the predetermined range corresponds to a distance at which an user confirms safe completion of the back door closing operation, and the input device is connected to the circuitry.
