Driving assistance systems

Abstract

To prevent a warning from being generated frequently when driving in a location where there are a lot of drivers who are unfamiliar to a present place.SOLUTION: A driving assistance device 30 comprises: a warning generation unit 31 which generates a warning for calling an attention of a driver of an own vehicle in a case where a present place of the own vehicle is separated from a location, in which the other vehicle is mainly used, by a predetermined distance or more; and a warning stop unit 32 which stops the warning by the warning generation unit 31 in a case where the warning by the warning generation unit 31 is predicted to be generated frequently. The warning stop unit 32 stops the warning by the warning generation unit 31, thereby preventing the warning from being generated frequently by the warning generation unit 31.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Claims
