Driving support apparatus, driving support method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

Abstract

Provided is a driving support apparatus including: a surrounding sensor configured to acquire surrounding information on another vehicle present in front of a vehicle and dividing lines extending in front of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to: execute adaptive cruise control (ACC) of, when a preceding vehicle is determined to be present based on the surrounding information, executing acceleration control and deceleration control such that an inter-vehicle distance to the preceding vehicle matches a predetermined target inter-vehicle distance which becomes longer as a vehicle speed increases; and lengthen, when the ACC is started or the ACC is being executed in a case in which a vehicle height is increased to be higher than the normal height by vehicle height adjustment, a target-inter-vehicle-distance-when-stopped, which is the target inter-vehicle distance of when the vehicle is stopped, as compared with a case in which the vehicle height is the normal height.
