DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD AND DRIVING ASSISTANCE DEVICE

The present invention pertains to driving assistance method and device by which an automobile can be parked at a location near a target parking location when carrying out ACC. During deceleration control via ACC, when a predicted parking location is closer than a target parking location by at least a prescribed threshold value, a parking location is adjusted by causing a state change from a first state, in which deceleration control is carried out, to a second state, in which acceleration control is carried out.
