Abstract

A vehicle driving support system evaluates the ability of a driver based on the driving operation of the driver for each of a plurality of driving-related functions possessed by the driver to drive the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle driving support system determines whether the ability of the driver is less than a predetermined standard for each of the driving-related functions and is not improved from then on, based on the past evaluation result of the ability of the driver. When determining that the ability of the driver is less than the predetermined standard for at least a part of the driving-related functions and is not improved from then on, the vehicle driving support system performs substitution control that causes a vehicle to perform the part of the driving-related functions instead so as to perform driving even if the driver does not exert the ability.
