Driving support device
A driving support device includes a sensor for acquiring object information on an object outside a vehicle; and a processing device for suppressing driving support, which is based on the object information, if an operation frequency of a wiper is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference and for providing the driving support if the operation frequency of the wiper is lower than the predetermined reference and if a vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined vehicle speed.
1. A driving support device comprising:
a sensor configured to acquire object information on an object outside a vehicle; and
a processing device configured to:
suppress driving support in a case where an operation frequency of a wiper is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference;
provide the driving support in a case where the operation frequency of the wiper is lower than the predetermined reference and a vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined vehicle speed; and
after having suppressed the driving support in the case where the operation frequency of the wiper is equal to or higher than the predetermined reference:
maintain the suppression of the driving support in a case where the operation frequency of the wiper is lower than the predetermined reference and the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than the predetermined vehicle speed, and
enable the driving support in a case where the operation frequency of the wiper is lower than the predetermined reference and the vehicle speed is higher than the predetermined vehicle speed, wherein
processing of the processing device is executed in an auto mode in which the operation frequency of the wiper is automatically determined according to a detection value of a raindrop sensor and the vehicle speed, and
the operation frequency of the wiper in the auto mode is set to have a frequency that is lower than the predetermined reference but greater than zero when the vehicle speed is lower than the predetermined vehicle speed and is set according to the detection value of the raindrop sensor when the vehicle speed is higher than the predetermined vehicle speed.
2. The driving support device of claim 1 , wherein the driving support includes providing support to avoid collision with the object.
