  "textContent": "In a scenario in which a host vehicle is making a lane change to an adjacent lane, the present invention makes it possible for the host vehicle to execute a lane change using an area in which another vehicle is traveling, even in situations where there is not a sufficient area of space before the lane change by the host vehicle.The present invention is a driving assist method in which a host vehicle (V1) traveling in a host vehicle lane is provided with a lane change controller (40) that performs a lane change control to make a lane change to an adjacent lane (L2) in which another vehicle (V4) present in the surroundings of the host vehicle is traveling, the method being implemented through the following procedures. Whether there is a request from the host vehicle (V1) to make a lane change to the adjacent lane (L2) is detected. In cases where it has been detected that there is a request from the host vehicle (V1) to make a lane change, whether there is any intent for another vehicle (V4) traveling in the adjacent lane (L2) to make a lane change heading toward the host vehicle lane (L1) is detected. In cases where it has been detected that there is an intent for the other vehicle (V4) to make a lane change heading toward the host vehicle lane (L1), the lane-change-intending other vehicle (V4) is established as a vehicle (V2) designated for a place-swapping lane change. The position of a vacant area that will be created due to the lane change by the designated vehicle (V2) is set as a target for a lane change made by the host vehicle (V1).",
