Abstract
A driving assistance method for a vehicle comprises: suspending autonomous lane change control when a driver's steering operation input during execution of the autonomous lane change control satisfies a predetermined suspension condition; executing first autonomous lane change control, which is executed regardless of an indication of the driver's intention, without confirming the indication of the driver's intention; executing second autonomous lane change control, which is executed due to the indication of the driver's intention, when the indication of the driver's intention can be confirmed; and setting the predetermined suspension condition for the first autonomous lane change control to a condition under which the autonomous lane change control is more readily suspended than under the predetermined suspension condition for the second autonomous lane change control.
