Abstract
A driving support apparatus includes a communication device configured to communicate with a vehicle-mounted device installed in a vehicle that's under automatic driving control; and a processor configured to determine, upon receiving a stop request by a passenger who is riding in the vehicle from a mobile terminal of the passenger or the vehicle-mounted device of the vehicle through the communication device, a stop location in accordance with the stop request; generate a driving route of the vehicle from a present location of the vehicle to the stop location; and calculate a stop time required to stop the vehicle at the stop location, based on the driving route to the stop location, and when the stop time is less than an allocated time for the stop request, send a stop command for moving the vehicle to the stop location to the vehicle-mounted device of the vehicle through the communication device.
