Abstract
A host vehicle includes a sonar device that acquires sonar information, including information on a target around the host vehicle and information representing the reflection intensity of an ultrasonic wave reflected by the target, using an ultrasonic wave and a driving assistance ECU that executes automatic braking for the host vehicle when it is determined, based on the sonar information, that a predetermined collision avoidance execution condition is satisfied. When the sonar information indicates that a target is around the host vehicle and the reflection intensity, included in the sonar information, is lower than a predetermined intensity threshold value, the driving assistance ECU executes automatic braking at a time the collision avoidance execution condition is satisfied only when a predetermined execution permission condition, including an erroneous depression determination condition that is satisfied when the driver of the host vehicle is assumed to have erroneously depressed an accelerator pedal, is satisfied.
