Abstract

A driving support apparatus (10) executes collision prevention control for avoiding collision with the object when a possibility of a vehicle (VA) colliding with an object based on object information (e.g., distance, direction, and relative speed) acquired by a millimeter wave radar device (21) and a camera device (22) is high. Further, the driving support apparatus does not execute the collision prevention control when an accelerator pedal operation amount is equal to or larger than a stop threshold value. However, the driving support apparatus executes the collision prevention control even when the accelerator pedal operation amount is equal to or larger than the stop threshold value within a specific period of from a start point at which a predetermined erroneous operation condition is satisfied, to an end point, which is a time point after a predetermined consideration period has elapsed since the erroneous operation condition has no longer been satisfied.
