More Information
Summary:A driving support apparatus includes a rear vehicle detection section that detects an adjacent rearward vehicle that is a vehicle traveling behind the own vehicle in an adjacent lane adjacent to the own vehicle lane. The driving support apparatus includes a control unit that acquires rear vehicle information relating to a rear vehicle traveling behind the own vehicle, on the same vehicle lane as the own vehicle. The control unit acquires boundary line information that expresses the position of a boundary line that divides the own vehicle lane and the adjacent lane. The control unit causes the own vehicle to travel so as to approach the boundary line, based on the boundary line information, when a rear vehicle is detected based on the rear vehicle information.
