Abstract
A driving support apparatus is provided with: a first controller programmed to perform a first control, which is to make a speed of a vehicle not to exceed a predetermined speed; a second controller programmed to perform a second control, which is a driving support control that is different from the first control; a preventer configured to prevent the second control on the basis of an operation of an accelerator by an occupant of the vehicle; and a prevention reducer configured to control the preventer to hardly prevent the second control if the first control is performed, in comparison with when the first control is not performed.
Claims5
A driving support apparatus comprising:
- a first controller programmed to perform a first control, which makes a speed of a vehicle not to exceed a predetermined speed;
- a second controller programmed to perform a second control, which prevents the vehicle from departing from a driving lane;
- and
- a third controller programmed to maintain the second control when an operation of an accelerator is performed and the first control is performed, and to prevent the second control when the operation of the accelerator is performed and the first control is not performed,
- wherein the third controller is further programmed to prevent the second control if a parameter associated with the operation of the accelerator satisfies a predetermined condition, and
- the third controller is further programmed (i) to use a first condition as the predetermined condition if the first control is not performed, and (ii) to use a second condition as the predetermined condition if the first control is performed, and
- wherein the predetermined condition is based on an acceleration opening degree, an acceleration step increase speed, and a number of times of operating the accelerator.
