Abstract
A driving assist device includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a control device. The control device does not execute an inter-vehicle distance control under a predetermined first condition upon determination that at least one preceding object is detected based on the output of one of the first sensor and the second sensor without being detected based on the output of the other of the first and second sensors; and an environment of a non-detection sensor that is the other of the first and second sensors satisfies a first requirement for determination of a reliability of the output of the non-detection sensor; and the control device executes the inter-vehicle distance control under a predetermined second condition upon determination that the environment of the non-detection sensor satisfies a second requirement for determination of the reliability of the output of the non-detection sensor.
