Abstract
A vehicle driving assistance apparatus includes a control unit configured to, in a case where the control unit determines, based on radar target object information, that at least one target control object that is approaching so as to intersect with a predicted traveling path of the host vehicle is present, when a line of vision of the driver detected by a driver monitor device is not directed to the target control object that will reach the intersecting position at the earliest time, perform at least one of a host vehicle traveling suppression control (e.g., a brake hold control to prohibit the host vehicle from moving) and an attention seeking warning control to generate a warning sound so as to cause the driver to recognize that there is a warning sound source in a direction along which the target control object is approaching the host vehicle.
