Original Abstract Submitted
A driving assistance apparatus for assisting driving of a vehicle. The driving assistance apparatus includes a teacher data generator that stores a movement route traveled by the vehicle according to the user's driving operation in a teacher traveling mode, and generates teacher data related to a target route generated by inverting the movement route; a position estimator that estimates the vehicle current position based on sensor information from a peripheral sensor monitoring the surrounding environment of the vehicle; and a vehicle controller that feedback controls the vehicle based on the vehicle current position estimated by the position estimator and each of target positions on the target route so that the vehicle travels along the target route when an execution command for an automatic traveling mode is received from the user.
