- the operation lever is movable, by an operation, to an acceleration region in which the vehicle generates the drive force and a brake region in which the vehicle generates the braking force,
- the driving assistance device comprising:
- a holder configured to maintain the braking force in a held state, and
- a controller configured to set the holder to be held or released in accordance with an operation state of the operation lever and a state of the vehicle, wherein
- the controller includes
- a first determiner configured to determine whether a vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a predetermined vehicle speed threshold, and
- a second determiner configured to determine the operation state of the operation lever,
- the controller switches from a released state to the held state in a case where a result of the determination by the first determiner is higher than the vehicle speed threshold, and
