  • Publication number: 20240286606
    Abstract: A driving assistance apparatus includes one or more processors. The one or more processors set a merging middle position based on information regarding a position of a head of a driver and information regarding an entry road and a merging road. The merging middle position is a position at which a region becomes viewable from the driver. The region is a blind spot from the driver of a vehicle traveling on the entry road. The blind spot is caused by a blind spot forming object present on a turning outer side of the vehicle. The one or more processors set a path that allows an inclination to be a predetermined angle or less at the merging middle position. The inclination is an inclination of a viewing angle center line of the driver viewing the region having been the blind spot with respect to a front-rear direction of the vehicle.
