Abstract
In a driving assistance device for performing a driving assistance process to avoid or mitigate a collision between an own vehicle, which is a vehicle carrying the driving assistance device, and an oncoming vehicle detected within a predefined region ahead of the own vehicle, an entry determiner is configured to determine whether one of the own vehicle and the oncoming vehicle is likely to enter a lane in which the other one is present. An actuation controller is configured to, in response to the entry determiner determining that each one of the own vehicle and the oncoming vehicle is unlikely to enter the lane of the other, restrict actuation of the driving assistance process, and in response to the entry determiner determining that any one of the own vehicle and the oncoming vehicle is likely to enter the lane of the other, not restrict actuation of the driving assistance process.
