Abstract

A rear vehicle approach notification apparatus includes an in-vehicle display, a speaker configured to output sound from a position different from the in-vehicle display to the driver, a first determination unit, a second determination unit, and a notification unit. The notification unit, when the first determination unit determines that a rear vehicle is approaching the host vehicle, performs the notification by displaying a rear vehicle approach display on the in-vehicle display without outputting sound from the speaker.
