Abstract
A memory stores an assistance pattern including a first periphery sensor map indicating a map in a periphery of a vehicle and an assistance content of driving assistance of the vehicle corresponding to the first periphery sensor map. A processor (sensor information acquisition unit) acquires sensor information indicating information on an object in the periphery of the vehicle sensed by a sensor. A processor (periphery sensor map acquisition unit) acquires a second periphery sensor map based on the sensor information. A processor (map similarity search unit, and assistance instruction unit) performs driving assistance of the assistance content corresponding to the first periphery sensor map when the second periphery sensor map is similar to the first periphery sensor map.
