Abstract
A driving assistance device performs driving assistance for an own vehicle when a predetermined target exists in a driving assistance area that is set ahead of the own vehicle. The driving assistance device is able to make a setting change to increase an area size of the driving assistance area in such a manner that the driving assistance area expands outward from the vehicle. When the driving assistance area is expanded, the driving assistance device makes a setting change to reduce the driving assistance area when it is detected that the vehicle is traveling in any of an auxiliary lane and a through lane of an expressway.
