Abstract: A vehicle driving assistance apparatus predicts (i) a first consumed energy amount corresponding to a consumed energy amount consumed by a driving apparatus of an own vehicle when executing a first following control and (ii) a second consumed energy amount corresponding to the consumed energy amount consumed by the driving apparatus of the own vehicle when executing the second following control. The apparatus executes the second following control when the second consumed energy amount is smaller than the first consumed energy amount. On the other hand, the apparatus executes the first following control when the second consumed energy amount is equal to or greater than the first consumed energy amount.

Abstract: A nailer for suppressing misfire while keeping operability. In a first mode, a control circuit drives a drive source when a second ON determination is made and a first ON determination is made in a state where a second operation unit is maintained at a second ON position, and when the drive source is driven and then a second OFF determination is made in a state where a first operation unit is maintained at a first ON position, the control circuit does not drive the drive source again unless returning to the initial state. In a second mode, the control circuit drives the drive source when the first ON determination is made and the second ON determination is made in a state where the first operation unit is maintained at the first ON position. A second OFF determination time in the second mode is longer than in the first mode.
