1. A vehicular steering control apparatus, comprising:

  • a steering input unit that is operated by a driver;

    an automatic steering unit that automatically steers steerable wheels relative to the steering input unit; and

    a steering assist force generation unit that generates a steering assist force, wherein steering control performed by at least one of the automatic steering unit and the steering assist force generation unit is so changed as to damp fluctuations in an operational force required of the driver which result from inversion of an actual turning direction of the steerable wheels, if it is determined that the turning direction is inverted through the automatic steering.
