Abstract
A control device is provided with: a position acquisition section for acquiring a current location; an information acquisition section for acquiring, from a specific device, device position information including a device position indicating the position of the specific device; a storage control section for storing the current position of the control device into a nonvolatile storage device; and a control execution section for executing driving assist control based on a current-time position of the control device and the device position information. The control execution section is provided with: a distance calculation section for calculating a distance between the device position and the stored position; and a distance determination section for determining whether or not the device-to-device distance is smaller than a distance threshold which is a prescribed distance. When the device-to-device distance is smaller than the distance threshold, the control execution section starts execution of the assist control.
