Abstract

A driving assistance apparatus includes: a registration processing unit configured to register, as an assistance location, an assistance location candidate detected as a location at which driving assistance for an own vehicle is necessary if the assistance location candidate satisfies a registration condition; and a region segmentation unit configured to set a first activity region in which an activity frequency of the own vehicle is estimated to be relatively high and a second activity region in which an activity frequency of the own vehicle is estimated to be relatively low. In a case where the assistance location candidate falls in the second activity region, the registration processing unit relaxes the registration condition compared to a case of falling in the first activity region (the assistance location candidate).
