Abstract

A vehicle driving assist system includes a controller and a display. The controller is configured to generate a bird's-eye view image based on information on images around a vehicle, respectively captured by cameras, and acquire a target route from a current location of the vehicle to a target stop location set by a driver. The display is configured to display the bird's-eye view image and the target route and allow the driver to use the bird's-eye view image to set a no entry area. The controller is configured to, when the controller determines that the vehicle enters the no entry area if the vehicle moves along the target route, correct the target route such that the vehicle does not enter the no entry area and cause the vehicle to move to the target stop location along the corrected target route and stop at the target stop location.

Claims (19)
