AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional driving support devices cause discomfort due to differing operation amounts required for the accelerator pedal between normal and assisted driving modes, leading to potential accelerator override against the driver's intention.
Method used
A vehicle driver assistance device with a control unit that performs adaptive cruise control and allows switching between modes enabling or disabling accelerator override, ensuring consistent pedal operation requirements regardless of assistance control.
Benefits of technology
Prevents accelerator override against the driver's will and maintains consistent pedal operation demands, enhancing user comfort and control.

Abstract
The goal is to prevent accelerator override from starting against the driver's will, while ensuring that the amount of accelerator pedal operation required to initiate accelerator override does not differ depending on whether or not driver assistance control is in place. [Solution] A control unit that performs driving assistance control to control the vehicle speed by controlling the driving force regardless of the accelerator opening degree Aco (S120) is a driving assistance device that performs accelerator override (S140, S150) which controls the driving force based on the accelerator opening degree when a preset condition is met during the execution of driving assistance control, and includes a switch operated by the driver, which switches between an accelerator override disallow mode (B mode) and an accelerator override allow mode (C mode), and the control unit determines that a preset condition is met when the accelerator override allow mode is in place and the accelerator opening degree is greater than or equal to a reference value (S20, S130).
