Original Abstract Submitted

a vehicle driving assistance apparatus executes a moving speed control of autonomously controlling a moving speed of a vehicle with respect to a set speed. when the moving speed control is being executed, and a consumed energy amount to move the vehicle by the moving speed control with respect to a first set speed which is the current set speed, is greater than the consumed energy amount to move the vehicle by the moving speed control with respect to a second set speed different from the first set speed, the vehicle driving assistance apparatus provides an operator of the vehicle with a proposal of changing the set speed from the first set speed to the second set speed. when the operator approves of the proposal, the vehicle driving assistance apparatus moves the vehicle by the moving speed control with respect to the second set speed.
