Abstract
A parking support apparatus includes an instruction detection section that detects the occupant's parking instruction based on an operation of the occupant of the vehicle or a history of a motion of the vehicle, and a vehicle control section that performs the automatic parking of the vehicle. When the history indicates that the vehicle has stopped after steering and turning from a straight movement, and that the occupant has performed a predetermined parking instruction operation, the instruction detection section determines that the parking instruction is detected.
