Abstract
A driving assistance apparatus executes, when a collision risk of the vehicle colliding with an object is high, either steering control for changing a traveling direction of a vehicle in order to reduce the collision risk, or deceleration control for decelerating the vehicle in order to reduce the collision risk. The driving assistance apparatus is configured to, when a steering priority condition that an occupant whose height is equal to or less than a threshold is on board the vehicle is satisfied, execute the steering control with priority over the deceleration control.
