Abstract
A driving assistance apparatus performs a deployment control including at least a control to deploy an air-bag of a vehicle when an collision indicating value satisfies a predetermined collision condition, and performs a brake-and-drive control to make a driving force of the vehicle smaller than a required driving force of a driver of the vehicle or to apply a brake force to the vehicle when the collision indicating value does not satisfy the collision condition and/but satisfies a predetermined low impact collision condition that is to be satisfied when a low impact collision having a degree of collision lower than the collision has occurred. In addition, the driving assistance apparatus changes the low impact collision condition in such a manner that the low impact collision condition becomes satisfied more easily as an elapsed time of a state where an anomalous state condition is satisfied becomes longer. The anomalous state condition is a condition to be satisfied when the driver is not driving normally.
