Abstract

When a collision avoidance target is a pedestrian or a bicycle, a driving assistance ECU performs automatic braking control. In this case, accelerator override cannot be performed. When the collision avoidance target is an automobile and when an accelerator operation amount is equal to or larger than a first operation amount threshold, the driving assistance ECU prohibits the automatic braking control. In this case, the accelerator override can be performed. When the accelerator operation amount is smaller than the first operation amount threshold, the driving assistance ECU performs the automatic braking control.
