Abstract
A driving assistance apparatus comprising a first object detecting sensor device, a second object detecting sensor device, and a control unit. The first object detecting sensor device detects an object and obtains the position and a certainty value of the object. The second object detecting sensor device detects an object and obtains the position and an object type for the object. The control unit executes collision avoidance control to avoid collision between a vehicle and a monitoring target object which is detected by the first object detecting sensor device when the certainty value of the monitoring target object is higher than a certainty threshold. If the monitoring target object is also detected by the second object detecting sensor device and its object type is a specific type, the certainty threshold is made larger.
