A driving assist system for assisting effort by an operator to operate a vehicle in traveling is provided. The driving assist system receives data including information on vehicle state and information on environment in a field around the vehicle. A controller, mounted to the vehicle, determines future environment in the field, makes an operator response plan in response to the determined future environment to determine command, and generates the command. The operator response plan prompts the operator to operating the vehicle in a desired manner for the determined future environment. At least one actuator, mounted to the vehicle, prompts the operator in response to the command to operating the vehicle in the desired manner.
