Abstract
A drive assist apparatus includes: an avoidance target recognition portion that recognizes an avoidance target which is a target with which a host vehicle should avoid coming into contact when traveling on a road; a steering control portion that assists steering of the host vehicle at a time of the host vehicle and the avoidance target passing each other; a margin detection portion that detects a margin indicating a distance between the host vehicle and the avoidance target at the time of passing each other; and a level change portion that changes a steering assistance degree of the host vehicle by the steering control portion at subsequent times of passing each other based on the margin detected by the margin detection portion.
