Driving support apparatus
First Claim
1. A driving support apparatus comprising:
- obstacle detecting means for detecting an obstacle around a vehicle; and
obstacle information providing means for outputting, by voice, positional information of the obstacle detected by the obstacle detecting means, wherein the obstacle detecting means includes a function of calculating a reliability indicator value concerning a detection result, and the obstacle information providing means includes obstacle information providing and judging unit that judges switching of contents of voice information to be provided in accordance with magnitude of the reliability indicator value outputted from the obstacle detecting means.
