Abstract
A driving assistance apparatus for a vehicle includes a surrounding environment information acquirer that acquires environment information about a surrounding of the vehicle, a leading-vehicle detector that detects a leading vehicle based on the environment information, a moving-body detector that detects a moving body in the surrounding of the vehicle based on the environment information, a vehicle-speed detector that detects a vehicle speed of the vehicle, and a region setter that sets a cut-in detection region for detecting entrance of the moving body between the vehicle and the leading vehicle when a travel controller causes the vehicle to travel such that the vehicle follows the leading vehicle. The region setter sets a protruding region that is included in the cut-in detection region based on at least the vehicle speed such that a length of protrusion in a left-right direction of the protruding region increases as the vehicle speed decreases.
