Abstract
A driving assistance device includes a visibility determination unit that determines whether visual recognition within a predetermined distance from a vehicle can be achieved in a traveling direction of the vehicle, an operation detection unit that detects an operation of causing the vehicle to enter a space in which an oncoming vehicle travels, based on information representing an operation of the vehicle by a driver, and a control warning unit that warns the driver or controls the vehicle in such a way that the vehicle does not enter the space when the visibility determination unit determines that visual recognition within the predetermined distance cannot be achieved, and the operation detection unit detects the operation of causing the vehicle to enter the space.
