Abstract
An automatic driving assist apparatus includes a map information acquirer; an own vehicle position estimator; a route information input unit; a traveling environment information acquirer, a traveling route setting unit, an other-vehicle traveling route acquirer, and an automatic driving controller. The automatic driving controller further includes a target travel path generator, an other-vehicle detection determiner, and a relative vehicle speed determiner, an other-vehicle traveling route determiner, and an automatic traveling controller. The automatic traveling controller causes the own vehicle to travel following another vehicle along a target travel path generated by the target travel path generator in a case where the other-vehicle traveling route determiner determines that a traveling route of the other vehicle is set in a direction of a branch path.
