PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a driver to intuitively and simply instruct a vehicle to switch lanes.SOLUTION: In a drive assist device (10), an image output section (14a) outputs an image including an own vehicle object representing an own vehicle and a plurality of lanes to a display section (31). An operation signal input section (14b) receives user's operation to move the own vehicle object from a first lane to a second lane in the image displayed on the display section (31). A command output section (14c), when receiving the user's operation, outputs a command to instruct the own vehicle to shift from the first lane to the second lane to a vehicle operation control section (20) which controls automatic operation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】運転者が車両に車線変更を指示する操作を直感的かつ簡便に行う。【解決手段】運転支援装置（１０）において、画像出力部（１４）は、表示部（３１）に、自車を表す自車オブジェクトと複数の車線を含む画像を出力する。操作信号入力部（１４）は、表示部（３１）に表示された画像内の自車オブジェクトを第１車線から第２車線に移動させるユーザの操作を受け付ける。コマンド出力部（１４）は、当該操作を受け付けると、自車の走行車線を第１車線から第２車線に変更することを指示するコマンドを、自動運転の制御を行う自動運転制御部（２０）に出力する。【選択図】図１
