Abstract

The driving support device includes: a recognition section configured to recognize each positions of a specific object and a road marking with reference to peripheral information of a own vehicle acquired by a sensor section configured to acquire the peripheral information; and a control section configured to perform different controls on the own vehicle, with reference to recognition results of the recognition section, depending on whether the specific object is present in a first state or a second state, the first state being a state where the specific object is present in a region more outside than a traveling lane with respect to an imaginary line that extends along a traveling direction of the own vehicle, the second state being a state where the specific object is present in a region on a more central side of the traveling lane with respect to the imaginary line.
