DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS

A driving assistance apparatus includes a risk prediction unit, a driving assistance control unit, a detection unit, and a first data storage. The risk prediction unit predicts a risk state of a vehicle on the basis of the vehicle's traveling state information and surrounding environment information. The driving assistance control unit executes driving assistance control on the basis of the predicted risk state. The detection unit acquires biological information of an occupant of the vehicle, and detects that the occupant feels danger on the basis of the biological information. The first data storage stores a learning model constructed by accumulating the vehicle's traveling state information and surrounding environment information obtained when the danger is felt. The driving assistance control unit executes the driving assistance control on the basis of the predicted risk state and the vehicle's traveling state information and surrounding environment information obtained when the danger is felt.
