Abstract
A driving assistance apparatus that alerts a driver based on a difficulty of driving includes an effect level storage that records a degree of an effect that stabilizes a vehicle body behavior while the driver is driving by executing a sound effect output process of outputting a sound effect based on the vehicle body behavior. The apparatus executes a difficulty determination process of determining the difficulty of driving for each predetermined section in which an own vehicle is scheduled to travel. The apparatus executes an alerting process of selectively executing, based on the difficulty, the sound effect output process or a warning process that gives a warning to the driver. The driving assistance apparatus sets respective ranges of the difficulty of driving for executing the sound effect output process and the warning process in the alerting process, based on the recorded degree of the effect of the driver.
