Abstract

Provided is a driving assistance device capable of responding to situations in which an obstacle to automatic driving (which can include remote control driving) occurs in a situation other than when parking a vehicle in a garage. This driving assistance device has a peripheral environment detection unit that detects peripheral environment information, which is information pertaining to the environment around a vehicle, and an automatic driving control unit that, on the basis of the peripheral environment information, controls automatic driving wherein the vehicle is made to travel without involving driving operations by an occupant. When it is determined that automatic driving based on the peripheral environment information is not possible, the automatic driving control unit continues, by means of remote control, the automatic driving without involving driving operations by the occupant.
