Abstract
A driving supporting apparatus comprising a first sensor that detects an object present outside of a vehicle based on a reflection of a radio wave that the first sensor radiates, a second sensor that detects a boundary structural object positioned at a boundary between a road area on which the vehicle can travel and an area other than the road area, and a control unit configured to perform a pre-crash control to avoid a collision between the vehicle and a recognized object that is the object detected by the first sensor. The control unit is configured to make a possibility that the pre-crash control is performed when a far-side position condition to be satisfied when the recognized object is located at a far side of the boundary structural object with respect to the vehicle is satisfied lower than when the far-side position condition is not satisfied.
