Abstract: Traveling environment information is recognized. A predicted traveling path is calculated based on a driving condition of a vehicle. An oncoming-vehicle predicted traveling path is calculated based on behavior of an oncoming vehicle. It is determined whether the vehicle has an intention to enter a first intersecting road at an intersection. When the vehicle cannot enter the first intersecting road, the predicted traveling path is corrected to a limit traveling path. It is determined whether the oncoming vehicle has an intention to enter a second intersecting road at the intersection. When the oncoming vehicle cannot enter the second intersecting road, the oncoming-vehicle predicted traveling path is corrected to an oncoming-vehicle limit traveling path. The oncoming vehicle is set as a control target against which emergency braking is executed when the predicted traveling path and the oncoming-vehicle predicted traveling path overlap each other at least in part.

By doing this, an image in which image unevenness caused by individual differences of the short reading sensors is reduced can be output.
