Abstract
A driving assistance device includes an operation prediction unit and a travel trajectory generation unit. The operation prediction unit predicts that a driving operation is to be performed by a driver of a vehicle before the driver performs the driving operation. The travel trajectory generation unit generates a target travel trajectory of the vehicle based on a prediction result of the driving operation that has been predicted by the operation prediction unit.
