Abstract
A driving assistance apparatus executes a moving control to autonomously control a vehicle. The apparatus informs a driver of contents of a voice operation process planned to be executed for the moving control in accordance with utterance contents of the driver acquired by voice recognition, and execute the voice operation process when an approval operation to approve the informed contents, is performed by the driver. The apparatus cancels a plan to execute the voice operation process and informs the driver that executing the voice operation process is not permitted when a moving situation of the vehicle becomes a predetermined situation which does not permit executing the voice operation process after informing the driver of the contents of the voice operation process planned to be executed for the moving control and before the approval operation is performed.
