Surrounding risk displaying apparatus

A surrounding risk displaying apparatus that is configured to be provided in a vehicle and to display, as risk objects, objects around the vehicle each involving a risk, the surrounding risk displaying apparatus comprising:

• an environment recognizer capable of recognizing an environment around the vehicle;
• a surrounding risk recognizer capable of extracting, on a basis of a result of the recognition performed by the environment recognizer, the risk objects each having a risk potential equal to or greater than a predetermined risk potential, and estimating a distribution of the risk potential around each of the corresponding risk objects, the surrounding risk recognizer being capable of calculating a risk approaching determination value that increases depending on relative approaching of the risk objects that come close to each other relatively;
• and
• a display capable of displaying images in a superimposed fashion on the corresponding risk objects, the images each indicating the distribution of the risk potential around corresponding one of the risk objects that are estimated by the surrounding risk recognizer, the display being capable of displaying, when the risk approaching determination value calculated by the surrounding risk recognizer is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, a passage risk display indicating that passing through, by the vehicle, a clearance between the risk objects involves a risk.
