Abstract
A traveling assistance apparatus for a vehicle includes a first recognizer acquiring surrounding environment information, a second recognizer acquiring vehicle condition information, a notifier notifying a driver of predetermined information, and a control processing unit performing vehicle traveling control and including a determiner and first and second processors. The determiner determines whether the vehicle is in a stuck state, based on the vehicle condition information, and evaluates a stuck level when the vehicle is in the stuck state. The first processor executes first recovery assistance control that automatically assists the vehicle in recovering from the stuck state. The second processor executes second recovery assistance control that outputs, to the notifier, first recovery operation instruction information based on which the vehicle is to recover from the stuck state. The control processing unit executes either of the first recovery assistance control or the second recovery assistance control, depending on the stuck level.
