  • Publication number: 20190106104
    Abstract: A drive assist apparatus includes an electronic control unit configured to: compute, when an object that causes a blind spot is ahead of a host vehicle, a first reference velocity which is a velocity at which the host vehicle is able to run without colliding with a moving object assumed to be in the blind spot of the object; estimate a degree of risk associated with a road on which the host vehicle is running, based on environment information that indicates a running environment of the host vehicle; and compute a second reference velocity which is determined by correcting the first reference velocity based on the estimated degree of risk.
