Abstract: There is provided a driving assistance device in which when driving assistance for a vehicle is provided, a travel path of the vehicle that takes into account traffic congestion conditions for each lane can be generated and driving assistance based on the travel path can be appropriately provided. Specifically, a planned travel route on which the vehicle travels is obtained, traffic congestion conditions for each lane on the planned travel route are obtained, a travel path recommended for the vehicle to travel along on a road included in the planned travel route is generated using map information including at least information about markings and the traffic congestion conditions for each lane, and driving assistance for the vehicle is provided based on the generated travel path.

Abstract: A vehicle door lock device includes: a remote control device that is provided in the middle of an operation transmitting system between a lock device, which binds a door of a vehicle such that the door becomes not able to move, and a door handle, in which a connection member that absorbs an excessive operation force by being elastically deformed in a direction in which the operation force is transmitted is interposed between a transmitting member that transmits an operation force input to the door handle and an input lever on the remote control device side to which the operation force is input via the transmitting member.
