Original Abstract Submitted
The driving assistance device controls lateral movement of the vehicle. The driving assistance device includes a steering operation actuator that steers the wheels, a detection device that detects the position of the driver's hand touching the steering wheel, and an electronic control unit that controls the lateral direction of the vehicle. In lateral control, the electronic control unit controls the steering operation actuator so that the vehicle laterally moves to the right when a hand touches the right portion of the steering wheel, and when the hand touches the left portion of the steering wheel. In this case, the steering operation actuator is controlled so that the vehicle laterally moves to the left.
