Abstract
When generating a traveling path for divergent event, a traveling path generation portion judges an occurrence of a traffic jam on a divergent lane. The occurrence of the traffic jam on the divergent lane is judged based on whether or not a surrounding vehicle which satisfies a predetermined condition exist in a search region. If it is judged that the traffic jam is occurring on the divergent lane, a notice for handover from an automatic divergent operation to a manual divergent operation is given to a driver.
