Abstract
A driver assistance apparatus includes an environment information obtainer, a visibility value measurer, and a control processor. The environment information obtainer acquires information on a traveling environment around a vehicle. The visibility value measurer measures a visibility value of the vehicle in the traveling environment based on the information on the traveling environment. The control processor determines whether visibility obstruction has occurred based on the visibility value and, when determining that the visibility obstruction has occurred, executes a driver assistance mode against the visibility obstruction. When determining that the visibility obstruction has occurred, the control processor executes one or both of a first process adapted to notify surrounding objects present around the vehicle of the presence of the vehicle depending on the visibility value, and a second process adapted to assist a traveling state of the vehicle.
