Driving assistance apparatus, driving assistance method, and computer-readable storage medium storing driving assistance program
A driving assistance apparatus executes a moving control to autonomously control a moving of a vehicle. The apparatus outputs first and second announcements and executes a voice operation process when the approval operation is performed. The first announcement is to inform a driver of contents of the voice operation process planned to be executed for the moving control in accordance with utterance contents of the driver acquired by voice recognition. The second announcement is to request the driver to perform an approval operation to approve the informed contents. The apparatus completes outputting the first announcement and execute the voice operation process, or stops outputting the first announcement, execute the voice operation process, and output a third announcement to inform the driver of the contents of the executed voice operation process when the approval operation is performed while the first announcement is output.
