Abstract
A driving assistance apparatus sets a driving condition of a vehicle, based on a risk of surrounding environment that includes an object around the vehicle. The driving assistance apparatus includes a forward-risk calculator, a backward-risk calculator, and a driving-condition setter. The forward-risk calculator is configured to calculate a forward risk corresponding to a risk of a collision with a leading vehicle that travels ahead of the vehicle. The backward-risk calculator is configured to calculate a backward risk corresponding to a risk of a collision with a trailing vehicle that travels behind the vehicle. The driving-condition setter is configured to set the driving condition of the vehicle, based on the forward risk and the backward risk.
