Abstract: A stop assist system for moving a moving body to a stop position and making the moving body stop at the stop position includes: an external environment recognizing unit that recognizes an external environment of the moving body; and a moving body control unit that executes a driving process to make the moving body travel to the stop position based on a recognition result of the external environment recognizing unit.
