Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle driving assistance apparatus executes an autonomous acceleration/deceleration control to maintain an own vehicle moving speed within a predetermined speed range, or maintain an inter-vehicle distance within a predetermined distance range, executes a coasting control when the deceleration of the own vehicle is requested in a situation where the autonomous acceleration/deceleration control is being executed, and executes a power running control when the acceleration of the own vehicle is requested in the situation where the autonomous acceleration/deceleration control is being executed. The vehicle driving assistance apparatus terminates executing the autonomous acceleration/deceleration control when a predetermined condition relating to at least one of a gradient of a road on which the own vehicle is moving and the moving speed of the own vehicle in the situation where the autonomous acceleration/deceleration control is being executed.
