Abstract
A driving assistance apparatus is configured to determine whether a preset deceleration assistance start condition is satisfied, start deceleration assistance for a driver's vehicle against a first deceleration-triggering object, determine whether a preset deceleration assistance termination condition is satisfied, issue a deceleration assistance termination notification to a driver of the driver's vehicle, determine whether a second deceleration-triggering object is detected ahead of the driver's vehicle, and determine whether a preset quick resumption condition is satisfied. The driving assistance apparatus is configured not to issue the deceleration assistance termination notification when the driving assistance apparatus determines that the quick resumption condition is satisfied, even in a case where the driving assistance apparatus determines that the deceleration assistance termination condition for the first deceleration-triggering object is satisfied.
